Edward A. Kimball of Chicago delivered a lecture on Christian Science at Stone's Theatre last evening [October 1]. The lecture was educational as to the teachings and practices of the Christian Scientists and attracted a goodsized audience in spite of the threatening aspect of the weather, which undoubtedly kept away many who would otherwise have been present.—The Flint Daily Journal.

There was a large audience at the Grand Opera House, Tuesday evening, October 6, to greet Judge Septimus J. Hanna, who appeared for the purpose of delivering a lecture on Christian Science. In the audience were many from surrounding towns and villages. The lecturer was introduced by Attorney I. H. Myers, who said in part,—

Christian Science has assumed such proportions that it can no longer be called a fad or a fraud. Among the ardent followers of Christian Science we find educated and intelligent men and women of every calling and profession in life. Its growth has been perfectly natural, and during recent years the rate of increase has been something astounding. It is a substantial thing. No matter what the final outcome may be, whether it be accepted or rejected, of one thing we may be sure, and that is, that in the history of a hundred years from now, the advent and progress of this movement will be looked upon as one of the remarkable events of the nineteenth century.

It concerns itself with a subject which is of vital interest and importance to us all,—our health,—and for that reason alone it is worthy of our careful, honest consideration, and it is to our interest to give it the same. This, no doubt, is the purpose of our presence here this evening.

At Cedar Rapids, Ia.

Carol Norton, C.S.D., of New York City lectured yesterday afternoon [October II] in Greene's Opera House. His subject was "The Meaning of Christian Science," and to hear him, there were assembled the lame, the halt, the maimed, and the blind. The rich and the poor, the sick and the well also formed a part of the audience which filled every chair on the first floor. In addition, it was a notably intelligent audience, including many of our brightest minds. The trend of the whole lecture was to explain how Christian Science is neither new nor strange, but a revival of primitive Christianity.

Mr. Norton was introduced by Judge J. H. Preston, whose thoughtful remarks were in support of religious liberty. He gave a rapid review of the great struggles to establish it, and declared plainly its constitutionality.

It was an enthusiastic religious audience which listened to Mrs. Livingston Mims of Atlanta, Ga., last night [October 12]. Her subject was "The Spiritual Supremacy of Man through Scientific Christianity, the Religion of the Future." Mrs. Mims was introduced by J. Edward Smith, C.S.B., formerly of this city. In introducing Mrs. Mims Mr. Smith said in part:—

Mortals have acquired the habit of calling that new, which is unfamiliar to them, or foreign to their preconceived ideas and practices. The Bible says that there is nothing new under the sun, and modern research and invention has so broadened man's thought, that he no longer looks narrowly on that which is beyond his range of vision. We are to-day ready to grapple with a new idea, be it even seemingly transcendental, if it be susceptible of demonstration. Only yesterday this was not so, whether the new subject embraced progress along a material or a spiritual line. The world is waking to the fact that undeveloped possibilities are infinite, and that the unseen is greater than the seen; that metaphysics embraces more of importance to man's spiritual and temporal welfare, than does physics; and again, that whatever is true is not new. Ever since the morning of the world, man has been and still is the Son of God, made in His image and likeness. The prophets saw this, David sang it, Jesus taught it, and John reiterated it. Yet we are just beginning to understand how true is this great fundamental fact. Humanity is slow to apprehend the truth, but the fact just stated is the most momentous that can be brought to the attention of the race.

Every seat in the Empire was occupied yesterday afternoon [October 18] by people who had come from many quarters to listen to Mrs. Sue Harper Mims, C.S.D., of Atlanta, Ga. From as far south as Troy, chartered cars brought persons who were anxious to hear this lecturer. The address was given under the auspices of the local First Church of Christ, Scientist, the subject being, "Man's Spiritual Supremacy, through Scientific Research, the Religion of the Future."

Colonel John L. Cunningham, who is well acquainted with Mrs. Mims' husband, Major Mims, introduced the speaker. He said in part,—

Ladies and Gentlemen:—Among the things which give me some little pride in my Presbyterianism is the fact, as I understand it, that it stands for a tolerant regard for the right of individual belief and the full liberty of individual conscience. To respect the faith of others as we would have others respect ours is certainly becoming more and more included in the Golden Rule; but, strange to say, it does not obtain so generally or generously in matters of religion as in political, social, and other phases of life. I rejoice in the improvement already manifest over former times.—Glens Falls Times.
