At Americus, Ga.

The Opera House was filled to almost its utmost capacity on Monday evening last, to hear a lecture on Christian Science by Mrs. Livingston Mims, C.S.B., of Atlanta, Ga., who is one of the Board of Lectureship appointed by the Mother Church of Boston. The audience was a thoroughly representative one and the profound attention given her every word was a just tribute to the culture and nobility of the woman and the forceful and spiritual character of her lecture. The stage was beautifully decorated with palms and tropical plants.

Hon. Charles R. Crisp, the son of the late eminent speaker of the House at Washington, Charles R. Crisp, introduced Mrs. Mims in the following well-chosen words:—

Ladies and Gentlemen:—You did not assemble here this evening to listen to a discourse from me, and I shall not inflict one upon you. You came to be entertained, delighted, and instructed by an address from one of Georgia's most distinguished and eloquent daughters, and I am confident I shall please you most by hastening that happy event. The honored and well-beloved visitor we have with us this evening is a lady of spotless character, whose reputation is national. Endowed from on high with a superb intellect. possessing rare attainments, many accomplishments, and great personal attractions, she numbers her friends and admirers only by the number of her acquaintances. I am certain I voice the sentiment of this audience when I say, while we may not all agree with her religious views, we applaud, praise, and commend her lofty and noble work in teaching mankind to emulate the life and character of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. I now have the honor, privilege, and sincere pleasure of presenting to you the orator of the evening, Mrs. Livingston Mims of the city of Atlanta.—

At Saratoga, N. Y.

An audience which nearly filled Theatre Saratoga heard Carol Norton of New York City lecture Thursday night, March 30, on "Christian Science and Common Sense." Mr. Norton spoke without notes and for over an hour. While not an orator he is an earnest speaker, and throughout the lecture commanded the attention of those present. The audience was a mixed one, all classes being present. If any one entered the hall with a view of being highly amused, they went away with different ideas.

Mr. Norton was introduced by Mrs. Betts, who said, "Ladies and gentlemen, and I would gladly say friends: I am here to-night to say but very few words to you before the speaker of the evening engages your attention on a subject that is engrossing, to a wonderful extent, the thought of the wide world. To my way of thinking no honor too great can be conferred upon man or woman who serves the human race, either publicly or privately by acquainting it with that which shall surely and finally liberate it from its sorrows, its sickness, and its sin, viz.: Christian Science. I speak to you as one who knows whereof she speaks. I stand here as a grateful witness of the healing power of divine Mind. I am convinced that no human means could have made me strong and well as Christian Science has done. Should I speak till you are weary, I could not speak the half of the blessings it has brought me. And so I shall detain you no longer.

"I have the honor to introduce the speaker of the evening, Carol Norton, C.S.D., of New York City."

At Marion, Ohio.

Thursday evening, March 23, 1899, Edward A. Kimball, C.S.D., of Chicago, Ill., gave a lecture in Grand Opera House, under the auspices of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Marion, Ohio. Fully eight hundred were present. In the audience were many from neighboring towns.

Each of our daily papers gave a synopsis of the lecture, one stating, "It can be safely said that a large number of people were won over to the cause of Christian Science by his learned remarks."

One druggist, on leaving the hall, stated that he would sell his drug store and buy a farm, as there was truth in this man's sayings.

We feel that this lecture has filled a long-felt want and much good will come from it.

We are few in numbers, having only thirty members, but we had no difficulty in raising one hundred and twenty-five dollars to meet the expense of the lecture; and we have a nice little sum left over to go towards our next one.

Words cannot express to our beloved Leader our gratitude for providing this Board of Lectureship. Jeannette Quick

At Elgin, Ill.

Edward A. Kimball of Chicago was introduced by James G. Cameron to a fair-sized audience in the Elgin Opera House, Monday evening, March 28. The theme was "Christian Science: What It Is and What It Is Not." No admittance fee was charged.

The speaker opened his address with a brief reference to the misery of the world; its jails, asylums, hospitals, and the dead.—Elgin Daily News.
