At Ithaca N. Y.

A representative audience of more than five hundred persons listened to the lecture of Judge William G. Ewing on Christian Science at the Lyceum last evening [April 20]. His hearers gave marked attention throughout the discourse, and that he is an orator goes without saying.

The Rev. C. W. Heizer of the First Unitarian Church, introduced Judge Ewing.—Ithaca News.

At Taylorville, Ill.

Judge William G. Ewing's lecture on Christian Science Sunday afternoon [April 12] at the Opera House drew out a large and cultured audience. The speaker was introduced to his audience by Senator J. N. C. Shumway in a very appropriate little speech, and from the time the distinguished visitor began speaking until he closed he was given the closest attention by his surprised and delighted hearers. If he made no converts to his belief, he left a very favorable impression, and the thanks of those who heard him are certainly due to the little band of Christian Scientists here for an hour and a half of keen intellectual enjoyment and moral uplifting.

His manner of attacking and disarming prejudice at the outset of his lecture was superb, and possibly without a single exception his hearers recognized the justness of his remarks and liked him all the better for making them. It was a decided victory for his earnest, persuasive manner of speaking.

There was a large number of Christian Scientists here to attend the lecture from Springfield, Mattoon, Decatur, Harvel, Pana, and Tower Hill.— The Daily Courier.

At Milwaukee, Wis.

The Pabst Theatre was crowded Thursday night, April 9, by an intelligent audience that listened with great attention to an exposition of Christian Science by Carol Norton of New York City. The lecture was under the auspices of Third Church of Christ, Scientist.

Mr. Norton is a very pleasant speaker, and, although he talked for nearly an hour and a half, commanded the strict attention of his hearers throughout. In the course of his remarks he paid an earnest tribute to Mrs. Eddy, denominating her the greatest religious reformer of the century. Mr. Norton was introduced by Mrs. Katherine Bangs, C.S.B., of Sheboygan, Wis., who said in part:—

Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends:— In the name of Third Church of Christ, Scientist, of this goodly city, we welcome you here to listen with us to an intelligent and authoritative exposition of Christian Science: a theme which is attracting the attention of the thinkers of the world.

Job said, "Acquaint now thyself with Him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee." Christian Science teaches us how to find this peace and how to obtain this good.

As representative thinkers, and students of God and Man, you are invited to this feast of scientific thought, or fundamental truth, and we bespeak for the lecturer your most thoughtful and considerate attention.

Our speaker is a member of the Board of Lectureship of the Mother Church in Boston, Mass., and comes fully equipped to expound the message to humanity, given by our beloved Leader, Mary Baker G. Eddy.

This noble woman, grand in her God-given courage and endurance, has labored over thirty years to establish the scientific way by which we may understand and obey the Master's command: "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free," which enables us to escape much of the suffering and despair resulting from the old ways of thinking, and for this labor of love, we naturally respond in love.

Every new system of thought coming to the world, through the one made ready for the discovery, bears its own kind of fruit; and we judge it by its fruits. If the fruits are evil, we refuse to accept, but if the fruits are good, we accept with thankful appreciation.

It is with pleasure that I present to you Mr. Carol Norton, C.S.D., of New York City; who will now address you.—The Wisconsin.

At Olean, N. Y.

The address given at the Opera House last evening [April 17] by Judge William G. Ewing of Chicago was listened to by an audience that filled the lower part of the house and overflowed into the gallery. There were many delegations of Christian Scientists and their friends from Bradford, Cuba, Portville, Salamanca, Wellsville, Friendship and other surrounding towns, and every one present felt well repaid for attending. Judge Ewing's subject was Christian Science. The address was one that could not but be of interest to all, and furnished food for thought to many who have given the subject of Christian Science but little attention. The members of First Church of Christ, Scientist, under whose auspices the address was given, are to be congratulated upon having given the people of Olean an opportunity to listen to such an excellent speaker as Judge Ewing proved himself himself to be. He was introduced by Rev. V. P. Mather of the Congregational Church as follows:—

Friends, Ladies and Gentlemen: We are assembled this evening to listen to a lecture on Christian Science, under the auspices of First Church of Christ, Scientist, of this city. Contrasting the present with the past ages, that person is asleep who does not feel that the last fifty years are the most golden of them all. Considering the revelations in natural science, art, and invention, especially in the sphere of electricity, how Almighty God has whispered His secrets to men like Edison, until we are driven by this unseen power through city and country, and talk by it through telephony and wireless telegraphy, ought we not to have expected that the One Cause of all would have revealed unto us correspondingly as great secrets in the spiritual realm? I believe all thinking and reading men and women will concede that never were the stagnant pools of morals and religion so thoroughly stirred as to-day. Men and women, under whatever belief, are "feeling after God." A few years ago a woman announced to the world a revelation, or new conception of truth. We said, Never mind her; it is natural for women to have revelations. Soon other women professed discipleship. We said, It may be a few nervous women and hysterics are being helped, and that is all good. A little later we found that Christian Science had entered the best of our homes, and many of the most intellectual and revered men and women were believing in this, to us, strange teaching. Though it brought naught but blessings and healings of soul and body, we said from pulpit and press, This thing should at least be impeded. In vain our efforts! A little later we found in congress halls and throughout this entire country that Christian Science had claimed for her advocates, believers, and defenders many from the legal profession, but before we could recover from this she had called as her exponents some of the most able judges and jurists in this country, until now she numbers her adherents by the thousands,—taken from the bench and the pulpit, from the rich and the poor, from the high and the low, from all occupations and professions, until there is scarcely a country place or hamlet so small but may not have one or more Christian Scientists to represent it. When Christian Science insisted upon teaching a redeemed body, with a redeemed soul, we said to her, You can have only chronics and incurables; as for our milder ailments,—sour stomachs and headaches,—our materia medica can manage these. And to a great extent, the healthy, happy looking Christian Science audiences of to-day have been builded up out of the chronics and incurables. The time has come when an audience like this comes together as truth-seekers—for "truth [love] never faileth," "Those love truth best, who to themselves are true, and what they dare to dream, dare to do." We have with us this evening an eminent judge and jurist, honored as such; also highly esteemed as a man of culture and refinement in all the walks of life—now a believer in, and exponent of, Christian Science. He comes to us from a little town in Illinois on lake Michigan —some of you may have heard of it—Chicago, and, as far as I can determine, clothed and in his right mind. I now have the pleasure of introducing to you Judge William G. Ewing of Chicago, who will address you upon the subject of Christian Science.—Olean Times.

At Peoria, Ill.

At the Grand Opera House yesterday afternoon [April 12] Carol Norton of New York delivered a lecture on "The Meaning of Christian Science" before one of the largest audiences which has ever gathered to listen to a discourse of a similar nature in the city of Peoria. The lecture drew many from the neighboring towns of Canton, Chenoa, Eureka, Havana, and Monmouth. Mr. Norton was introduced to the audience by R. O. Campbell, who spoke as follows:—

This lecture is to be given in order briefly to define the meaning of Christian Science; to throw additional light upon a subject little understood. For centuries men have sought a religion sufficiently palin to human comprehension for its practice to restore to the world the primitive Christianity. It is recorded of Jesus in the first verse of the tenth chapter of Matthew that, "When he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease." We who are Christian Scientists believe that we have such a religion, and the sincerity of our belief is manifest in our having invited you, who are not of our faith, to listen to an exposition of Christian Science. We also believe that every good deed performed since the beginning of the Christian era has been a factor in making our religion a possibility, and we honor every advocate of thought that leads out of darkness and chaos into light and order. We supremely reverence our Saviour and Exemplar, whose resurrection the world to-day commemorates, who proved for all time the indestructible, eternal character of life.—Peoria Herald-Transcript.

What within us is good invites the good in our brother,—generosity begets generosity; love wins love; peace secures peace: while all within us that is bad challenges the bad in our brother,—distrust engenders distrust; hate provokes hate; war arouses war. Life is full of illustrations of this beautiful law.—Charles Summer.
