Growth of Christian Science

Buffalo (N. Y.) Times

The growth of the Christian Science Church in this country during the past few years has been remarkable, a fact which we believe is not fully appreciated by the general public. In Buffalo the increase in its membership, wealth, and influence has been very large. The attendance at all the meeting-places is always large, and the reading rooms maintained by the church are almost constantly filled with seekers of the knowledge their publications contain.

In 1897 the whole denomination contained only three hundred and sixty churches and now it contains eight hundred and fifty. In 1897 Science and Health, the text-book of the denomination, written by Mrs. Eddy, had only passed its one hundred and thirtieth thousand, and now it has reached its three hundred and fifteenth thousand, and more copies of it were sold in the last twelve months than were sold in the first twelve years.
