Among the Churches

with contributions from V. C. Bucklin, Lucy Mosher, Albert P. Rumohr

In grateful acknowledgment of help received through reports from other churches, we submit the following, hoping it may prove an encouraging messenger to other little bands of workers for the cause of Christian Science.

At our annual meeting in August, 1902, the clerk of First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Camden reported many evidences of progress. He said there had been an increase in the attendance at the church services of townspeople who come with the spirit of kindly investigation. There is also an improved condition of the church building, which is leased from the Universalist society.

The reading room has been removed to larger and much pleasanter quarters and provided with better furnishings. We have a better realization of the affluence of Love, so that our bettered financial condition has enabled us to make the improvements, to add to the salary of our officers, and successfully to give a lecture in February. The lecture was delivered by Rev. Mr. McKenzie and was productive of great good, evidence of which was early manifested. The reading room committee report a much larger sale of literature than that of any previous year and a decided increase in the number of visitors. Boxes containing Christian Science literature have been placed in the waiting room of the street railway and in the boat house of the Boston & Bangor S. S. Co., and literature is being constantly distributed throughout the Field. The church and Sunday School have a church building fund, a Mother Church building fund, and a lecture fund.
