The Lectures

with contributions from E. E. Norwood, Governor Chamberlain, John D. Works

About four hundred persons gathered last evening [February 16] at the Freundschaftsbund Hall to hear Judge Septimus J. Hanna of Colorado Springs expound the teachings of Christian Science. Judge Hanna was introduced by Mr. E. E. Norwood, formerly First Reader of the Christian Science Church at Charleston, under whose auspices Judge Hanna appeared. Mr. Norwood spoke as follows:—

It seems rather anomalous for me, a stranger to most of you, to introduce an entire stranger, and yet I am not a stranger, for a few years ago I lived in your city for a season, and learned to love Charleston and many of her citizens, and it is indeed a pleasure to be with you this evening upon such an occasion and renew that friendship.

As we look back, with the mind's eye, upon the nearly two hundred and forty years since the foundation of this historic "City by the Sea," we are impressed by the long list of distinguished sons she has sent forth to add to the achievements of human endeavor—statesmen, soldiers, scholars, and jurists, physicians, preachers, and poets—all have helped to add lustre to the fame of their native place, and emblazoned their names upon her heraldry.
