Prison Work

BY NETTIE SHELDON.

The result of the work of putting Science and Health into the jails and prisons has recently been brought to my notice in a very gratifying way.

A man awaiting trial in a jail where Science and Health had been placed became deeply impressed with its teaching, and after having been sentenced to three years' imprisonment in Fort Madison Prison, Iowa, wrote me asking for Christian Science literature. Our church sent him a copy of Science and Health. The Sentinel has also been forwarded to him. The acknowledgment of benefit received is ample reward for any effort of ours to scatter the good seed of Truth. The following is a copy of the man's last letter.

Miss S.:—I received your most welcome letter of the 21st, and was very grateful for the encouraging words contained therein.
