Among the Churches

with contributions from Mary Brookins, E. C. Butler

The regular visits of the Sentinel furnish a perpetual means of education and enjoyment to the multitude of its readers far and near. The mutual interchange of thoughts, plans, and experiences constantly passing through its columns, reach us and meet our needs with blessings manifold. Surely the best expression of our gratitude for these helps may be embodied in similar testimonies. With this thought we offer the following account of the general work recently done by our association, and trust it may prove not only interesting but useful.

Our association is specially interested in the distribution of Christian Science literature, believing it to be a most effectual means through which Truth may generally and mightily speak to the people. We have a literature committee in special charge of this branch of our work, whose duty it is to seek opportunities for placing our literature, to offer it, and to get some assurance that it will be received and properly used. Of course in this the committee is assisted by the members generally. We never intrude the literature upon any one, nor do we give it until we are assured that it will be rightly received.

During the last eighteen months our association has given away twenty-five copies of our text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." These have been placed in a number of our state institutions, namely, the Penitentiary, the Training School, Normal School, School of Agriculture, and three hospitals for the insane; also in the Chippewa County Jail; the Hennepin County Poor Farm; St. Paul Work-house; Odd Fellows Home, North-field; School for Feeble Minded, Faribault; Public Library, Forest Lake; Asylum, New Richmond, Wis.; Tuskegee Institute, Alabama; Pillsbury Home for Young Women, Minneapolis; West Hotel Reading Room; two stations of the Fire Department; headquarters of the Salvage Corps; a barber shop; Book Lovers' Library; Stationary Engineers' Library; Twin City Telephone Exchange; and gift to James Younger.
