A Profitable Hour

J. U. Higinbotham

There is in Chicago a body of Christian Scientists which deserves mention in our publications. It is without rules, regulations, or organization, and its blessings are only fully appreciated when they are pointed out to us by visiting Scientists. I refer to the group of men, with occasionally a visitor of the opposite sex, who congregate daily at the luncheon hour around a table reserved for them in a restaurant, there to make fruitful the only "idle" hour of the day.

Error finds no voice there, and while there is much of good-fellowship manifested, and the group is noticeably a happy one, the whole conversation is maintained on a Scientific basis. When a member is good enough to bring his wife, there is never any necessity to lower the voice or change the subject. Business problems are naturally the most often presented, and they are handled in the spirit of Love, and advice is never sought as to how to get the better of "the other fellow," but rather the question discussed is, "In this instance, what is my duty to my fellow-man?"

The personnel of the Club might be described in rather imposing terms if intended to impress mortal mind, but for the majority of those who will read this I can confer no loftier title than to say that they are Christian Science business men.
