Among the Churches

with contributions from F. B. Carly, George H. Kinter, Alice Cary

The Christian Scientists known as First Church of Christ, Scientist, have moved their place of worship to 107 West Seventh Street. In connection with the church work, a reading room has been opened where all the genuine Christian Science literature is kept for the free use of the public. The room is open from 9 A.M. to 12 M., and from 3 to 6 P.M., and some one is always there to give any information concerning the subject that may be desired. The rooms are neatly finished in old rose, with carpets of dark green, and the windows and reading tables are ornamented with choice Rex begonias and fern.

This room was the scene of a happy gathering one afternoon last week, the occasion being the annual meeting of an association of Christian Science students, who came from all parts of the state for the pleasure of meeting each other, relating their experiences, and listening to words of admonition and counsel. A discourse was devoted to a discussion of the vital qualifications of Christian Scientists, especial stress being laid on the need of obeying every injunction of the Master, of watching and praying constantly, of overcoming evil with good, and of living a life uncontaminated by evil thoughts or deeds and consecrated to the cause of Christ. Without this, it was asserted, the prayers of the followers would be of little avail in healing the sick and reclaiming the sinner.

After the meeting a number of letters addressed to the association by absent fellow-members were read. In a humble and unpretentious way these told of how their efforts towards healing the sick and reclaiming the sinner were being blessed by God, and of their deep thankfulness therefor. Two letters were especially interesting and touching, one being from a little girl student, and the other from a physician who, after being healed through Christian Science when material means had failed, has made it his life-work.
