Christian Science at the North Dakota Chautauqua

BY MARTHA SUTTON THOMPSON

A Good initiatory work for Christian Science has been done at our Chautauqua grounds this summer. For several successive years we have made unsuccessful attempts to get a Christian Science lecture on the programme This time we succeeded. Edward A. Kimball, C.S.D., was secured and the date fixed for Sunday, July 15.

This was indeed a gratifying accomplishment. But it did not stop here. It was soon proposed to establish Christian Science headquarters and reading room on the grounds. The matter was laid before a number of Christian Scientist churches and individuals, and these contributed sufficient funds for our purposes. The contributions came from North Dakota, Minnesota, and one society in Iowa.

A centrally located lot, overshadowed with trees, was purchased upon which a suitable tent was erected. Another purchase was pretty, light—colored furniture, consisting of couch, settees, rockers, other chairs, and table. A large amount of Christian Science literature was provided for reading and distribution.
