In the Sentinel of March 16, is a notice relative to services in Berlin. The person sending it did not quite understand the situation, and it seems but just for me to say the Bible Lessons have been read at an appointed hour, without omission, for more than a year in my rooms, where the meetings are still held. My daughter and I never read alone. There are always a few friends present, who are sufficiently interested to meet with us, and from their number several have bought the "little book," and have joined our ranks.

Several copies of the Journal were gladly accepted by the president of the American Girl's Club, and placed on the magazine table in the reading room.

About the holiday time this year, there appeared among us six Scientists—all being sojourners, like myself, for time—excepting one, a German resident who had just returned from taking a course of lessons with Mrs. Julia Field-King in London. Now our meetings have assumed a more regular form, and for the past six weeks we have had an attendance of from nine to nineteen. However, as the Readers are both young students, we have asked only those who claim to abide by the teachings of the Rev. Mary Baker Eddy. More copies of Science and Health have been ordered, also a few Quarterlies for April. Surely we have need of a competent leader, and I know this will reach the dear Mother, whose far-seeing eye will discern and supply the need of her hungering children over the sea.—Maggie Drake, Berlin West, Germany.
