At. St. Joseph, Mo.

Carol Norton, C.S.D., of New York City, spoke last night [November 2] at the Tootle Theatre to an audience of investigators of that faith and members of the local Christian Science churches, which filled the large auditorium.

The Hon. A. W. Brewster, presented by Charles M. Howe of First Church of Christ, Scientist, introduced the speaker of the evening by a reference to the presence of a splendid audience, searchers after the truth, and a commendation of the spirit which leads the modern searcher to follow truth wherever it may lead, even to the crumbling of old creeds and old traditions.

Mr. Norton retained the undivided attention of the large audience to the close of his address, which was a thorough exposition of the faith and tenets of Christian Science, which, the speaker said, is a religion founded on the Scriptures and throwing the light of spiritual interpretation upon the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.

At Jersey City, N. J.

Edward A. Kimball, C.S.D., of Chicago, lectured on Christian Science, Thursday, November 19, in Jersey City, at Hasbrouck Hall. The lecture was well attended, principally by citizens of Jersey City, although visitors were present from New York, Brooklyn, Orange, Englewood, Cranford, etc. This being the third lecture given by First Church of Christ, Scientist, Jersey City, seemed to mark the culmination of appreciation on the part of the public, those present expressing the greatest satisfaction and sense of indebtedness for the good received from the lecutre.

Mr. J. D. Higgings of New York introduced Mr. Kimball, and said in part:—

Markedly within a few years, the thinking world is awakening to the fact that all ultimate truth lies outside and above the range of the physical, and must be sought in the metaphysical, in the realm of Christian Science. There is no exact science but the Science of Truth and the Science of Truth must be exact. Christian Scientists believe that they are developing and proving step by step the Science of Truth.—Correspondence.


At Topeka, Kan.

A large audience assembled at the Grand Opera House yesterday afternoon [November 15] to hear the lecture by Carol Norton, C.S.D., on the subject, "Christian Science, the Gospel of Righteousness and Health."

Rev. Abram Wyman presided over the meeting and introduced Mr. Norton in a few very graceful and courteous remarks, saying in part:—

Christian Science is young among its sister churches. I mean, of course, under its present name. I realize that some of the fundamental truths are as old as Christianity and older—as old as the human race. Let me be frank with you and say that personally care least for the therapeutical side of Christian Science; here I have the most doubts. But let that pass. What I do value Christian Science for is that it has given a vital religious faith to multitudes whom no other form of the Christian faith was able to reach so well. It has made them happy; it has made their lives rich and full; it has made religion a living reality to them. I know many who by what they have gained from the Christian Science faith have been transformed; been made happy; their character has been built up in all ways; they have become new beings. This is why I esteem Christian Science and rejoice in the good work it has done and is doing. And, therefore, it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you the speaker of the afternoon, Carol Norton of New York City.—The Topeka Herald.
