Among the Churches

with contributions from Ida Herberich, Mattie E. Rhoads, Rose A. Webster

A little Band of Christian Scientists began holding Christian Science services in Stuttgart, south Germany, last March. A large and pleasant room was secured, Friedrichstrasse 9, and furnished with a view to simplicity and harmony. On Sunday morning the service is held first in German and then in English, and on Wednesday evening there is the usual testimonial meeting. The attendance only averages twenty-five to twenty-eight, but this little band is filled with an earnest desire to be faithful and obedient followers of our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and to keep steadily in the path marked out for us by her. We strive to preserve the spirit of unity and to overcome personality. Several of us have had class instruction, and this has been a great help to us.

Circumstances seemed to make it wise to give our assembly a strictly private character; only those join us from time to time who have been healed, or who are drawn by a sincere interest in Christian Science. Healing work is being done, and many dark mortal mind pictures have disappeared before the light of Truth.

Those of our number who do not yet know English show considerable eagerness in in learning it, in order to be able to read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" for themselves. Der Christian Science Herold is a boon which is much appreciated, and it is steadily gaining subscribers. It is a regular little missionary. Of all the numbers I have received since its first appearance, only three or four are in my possession; all the rest are out doing work among those who are awakening to an interest in Christian Science.
