True Brotherliness

with contributions from J. N. Taub, H. J. Dannenbaum, James D. Sherwood

The congregation of First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Houston, Tex., has grown to such an extent as to necessitate an increase in the seating capacity of the church building, and while the question of obtaining temporary quarters pending the enlargement of the building was under consideration, the following letter was received from the Hebrew congregation. The loving thought which the letter discloses will be appreciated by Christian Scientists everywhere. These good friends declined to accept any compensation for the use of their building, on the ground that they "did not believe one religious body should charge another anything for the use of its church."

The letter and reply express the spirit of true brotherliness.

Houston, Texas, March 14, 1904.
