AMONG THE CHURCHES

The members of First and Third Churches of Christ, Scientist, of Brooklyn, N. Y., held a union Thanksgiving service in the Beth Elohim Temple, Thursday, Nov. 29, 1906, at 10.30 A.M., over six hundred people being present. First Church building being inadequate to seat the congregation, the courtesy extended by our Hebrew brethren in so generously and freely opening their doors to us at this time was another proof of the promise of Science and Health, p. 494, "Divine Love always has met, and always will meet, every human need." At the close of the Lesson-Sermon twenty minutes were given for testimonies and expressions of gratitude for the physical benefits and spiritual illumination resulting from the teaching and life-work of our Leader, making of practical use to-day the command of the Founder of the Christian religion, "To preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick." The union service in this temple bespeaks the consummation of the hope of Christian Science; namely, the realization of our Father-Mother God and the brotherhood of man, and more clearly unfolds the definition of the true children of Israel, "The representatives of Soul, not corporeal sense" (Science and Health, p. 583).

In great gratitude we give God the glory for this demonstration, for He brought us forth also "into a large place," He has enlarged our steps under us.
