The Church Built by Young People

January 2, 2012

The following is an account excerpted from The Christian Science Journal of February 1899. It was written by the Honorable William G. Ewing, one of the judges of the Superior Court of Chicago, Illinois. A man of keen intellect, Judge Ewing had become interested in Christian Science in 1884 when he was healed of an illness pronounced incurable and likely fatal by the medical community. He became a member of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, in 1899, and that same year began serving on the Christian Science Board of Lectureship at the invitation of Mary Baker Eddy. He traveled throughout the United States and abroad as a Christian Science lecturer, devoting his full time to this work until 1910.
