Among the Churches

About one hundred people were gathered at the communion service in the Christian Science Church Sunday morning (December 9). The service which is held in the K. of P. Hall, does not differ from any other, only that there is no preaching. They do not want man to explain and criticise the words of God, but they read those words in a quiet, cheerful, trustful way that seems happy, and there is a wonderful atmosphere of rest and security in the place.

Christian Science as a society has lived for one year in this city, and Sunday the society celebrated its first anniversary. Previous to a year ago there were a number who believed in it and there were many others who had been converted, but there had been no combination on the part of the followers.

Its growth in this city has not been phenomenal, but it has become firmly rooted and the leaders are jubilant and feel that greater success awaits them, not only in this city but in all parts of the world. There were twelve charter members, and during the year new names have been added, so that the society at present numbers thirty members.
