The Lectures

with contributions from J. L. Hewitt, Charles H. Fahnestock, Charles E. Burnham

Edward A. Kimball of Chicago delivered a noteworthy lecture on Christian Science at the Rhode Opera House on Thursday evening, November 17. Mr. Kimball was introduced by the Rev. J. L. Hewitt, D.D., who said in part,—

Man is by nature religious; religious questions claim, deserve, and receive universal attention. This is an age not of speculation but investigatin. He is untrue to his moral sense, untrue to the inspirations of his age, who purposely ignores a religious truth and is unwilling to listen without prejudice while that truth is expounded and vindicated. The more truth is opposed the more earnest should be our consideration of it. A faith or a philosophy that is false on the face will have no opponent. We may ordinarily measure the importance of an idea or a doctrine by the number and strength of its antagonists. Christian Science seems to have made itself worthy of antagonism; authors have written against it; conventions have resolved against it, and logicians have argued against it, yet it has moved amazingly forward.—Kenosha News.
