Asheville, N. C.

The Auditorium was comfortably filled last night [November 6] by an audience which listened with interest to Mr. Edward A. Kimball's lecture on Christian Science. The lecturer was introduced by Mayor Barnard, who said in part,—

In spite of a criticism amounting in some instances almost to abuse, this wonderful school has grown with remarkable rapidity, and though less than forty years old it has attracted to itself thousands of followers, most of them earnest men and women who have been helped by the wholesome optimism of its teachings and who look to them as a source of deepest satisfaction and comfort.—The Asheville Citizen.

Last evening [November 10] the Hon. Clarence A. Buskirk of Princeton, Ind., delivered an address at the Grand Opera House on the subject of Christian Science. Attorney T. E. Webber of this city introduced the speaker, and said in part,—

I am not a Christian Scientist. I am not familiar with their special tenets, but I know that Christian Science teaches and rears the pillars of its temple upon love, purity, and the brotherhood of man. With such a foundation its influence must be for good, and as such is entitled to respectful consideration. It does not withhold its rewards until the hereafter, It does not withhold its rewards until the hereafter, or hold out the promise of a final reward after a life of travail and suffering with repentance repentance in sackcloth and ashes, but asks you to accept now, to-day, and for all time, health, happiness, and love ever increasing and never ending! With such a promise surely it is well worth our best attention. You ask me, Will it do all this? I do not know, but we need it all so badly in this life of ours that we cannot afford to turn our backs on the hope of it. We say to Christian Science, "State your case. We want the proof!"

There is one feature about Christian Science worthy of remark. Its teachers and expounders are not men and women who have been failures in other walks of life. Its platform speakers are cultured, educated people who leave positions of prominence to preach the tidings of good will towards all men.—Daily Courier.

A large audience listened to the lecture last night [November 21] in the Columbia Theatre by Rev. William P. McKenzie of Boston. The speaker was introduced by ex-Governor J. T. Morrison, who in his introductory remarks said,—

We are living in one of the most remarkable thought periods in the history of the world. Much that we know was unknown by the ancients, and even the philosophers and scientists of a century or so since saw but the first faint outline. In the thought of the present day Science dominates. Science is knowledge, knowledge that is capable of demonstration. Scientific thinking, scientific methods, and scientific knowledge conspire to make life more tolerable and to help solve the human equation. The so-called warfare between science and religion is settled, except in the minds of the uninformed, for the very good reason that exact learning and the truth are one and the same thing.

"Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free," is a statement of both a scientific and a religious fact, a fact which is equally potent whether demonstrated by science or revealed by religious experience. In this enlightened and thoughtful age, whatever the system you seek to teach and establish, whether scientific or religious or a commingling of both, it must be measured by the same standard, the truth, which is both the scientific yardstick and the religious pendulum.—The Idaho Statesman.

Dublin, Ireland.

Mr. Bicknell Young gave a lecture on Christian Science to a full house on the 23rd of November in the Ancient Concert Rooms. Commander J. Heugh, D.S.O., of the Royal Navy, introduced the lecturer, saying in part,—

Christian Science is attracting universal attention, owing to its regenerative and healing power. It is essentially a practical religion, and a "religion of right thinking." It teaches, not that that you are to become better than any one else, but better than you were. It has healed, and is healing its thousands, of every form of sin and disease, and I am very grateful to God that I can count myself as one of them.—Correspondence.

Longmont, Col.

Monday evening, November 20, Mr. Clarence C. Eaton of Tacoma, Wash., addressed a fair-sized audience in Dickens Opera House, on Christian Science. The lecturer was introduced by Rev. A. L. Chase of the M. E. Church, who said in part,—

My being on this platform does not signify that I am a Christian Scientist or likely to become one. Some years ago I could not have been induced to take part with Christian Scientists, but I have grown more liberal and inclined to allow others the privilege of the faith they think best. I am here to listen and to learn what the Scientists have and we have not. I welcome everything which will lift mankind and make the world better.—Correspondence.
