Among the Churches

with contributions from John Cleghorn, Minnie S. Avery, Harriet R. White, Emma C. Shipman

I am sure the Field will be interested in the following letter from the warden of the Colorado State Penitentiary. This gentleman is not at all interested in Christian Science, so far as I know, but he is regarded as one of the best wardens the institution has ever had.

To the Members of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Canon City, Colorado.

I wish to say that since the commencement of my term as Warden of the Colorado State Penitentiary, I have had occasion to observe the effects of the work of the Christian Science movement in the prison, both in the matter of holding services and the distribution of literature, and it certainly has accomplished much good for the immates of this institution. It has a tendency to not only make them more tractable while immates, but in my opinion it gives them more courage and ambition to strive to make better men of themselves when released. I certainly think the movement should meet with encouragement by the management of every penal institution in the country.
