Among the Churches

with contributions from S. R. D., Helen C. Sherer, Hermann S. Hering, Susan Coolidge

First Church of Christ, Scientist, have moved from the Review Building, where they have been seven years, to the Powers Building where they had their first meeting Wednesday, September 12. They have three rooms: one for church services, one a reading room, and one for consultation with those who come for Christian Science treatment. The rooms have been newly fitted up. The color scheme is green and gold, and white and gold. It is well lighted by electricity and nicely furnished. The platform is at the side and of circular form. A large United States flag is draped back of the desks, pictures suitable for such a place hang on the walls, and potted plants and flowers were in profusion at the opening service.

After the usual opening exercises the First Reader said: "We have made no special plans for our opening services in our new place of worship. We have enlarged our borders somewhat, and know it is Truth's leading by the ease with which it has been accomplished. Although improvement of thought not change of location, in Christian Science, produces advancement, yet as thought is purified, the sense of limitation and bondage disappears naturally and we manifest that freedom by expansion in material ways.

We owe endless homage and gratitude to our Mother in Israel, Mary Baker Eddy for giving to the world our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." In this book the church is defined as "the structure of Truth and Love; whatever rests upon and proceeds from divine Principle.
