Segregation of the Sexes

Alfred Farlow

The Excelsior has received the following communication from the Publication Committee of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, which it publishes with pleasure.

Boston, Mass., August 9, 1904. Editor Excelsior, Omaha, Neb.

Dear Sir:—In responding to your request to write something on the much-mooted By-law of the Christian Science Church providing against the segregation of the sexes in fraternal organizations, I would say, that never having made this subject a special study, I am not sure my opinion is of much value. This By-law, as I understand it, has not been "principally aimed at membership in the woman's club;" indeed, it is not intended to interfere with any clubs or organizations, but simply to emphasize the attitude of Christian Scientists in regard to such organizations.
