A Wednesday Evening Meeting

Kansas City Times

Every Wednesday night in the Christian Science churches of this city members gather in accordance with the rules of the Mother Church. Last week and the week before I attended these services for the purpose of giving to the readers of the Times accurate knowledge of the tenets the Christian Scientists propound and the results of their belief when put into practice in the actual experiences of daily life. I attended the First Church of Christ, Scientist, at Forest Avenue and Ninth Street. Both evenings the church was filled with a large, earnest, and devout audience. It is doubtful if there is a Protestant church in Kansas City that had a larger attendance at prayer meeting that night. The church is one of the handsomest and has the most elaborate appointments of any church in Kansas City.

The first man to tell what Christian Science had done for him related the following experience :—

About three years ago I was afflicted with heart trouble and under the care of a physician. He called in several other physicians and they held a consultation and decided that they could do no more for me, that my case was helpless. At that time all my friends and relatives thought that nothing could be done for me, and the doctors told me not to attempt any work, as it would hasten my death.
