AMONG THE CHURCHES

with contributions from Wm. R. Rathvon

A Thanksgiving service was held jointly by First and Second Churches of Christ, Scientist, Manchester, England, on Saturday Dec. 18, 1909, at First Church. At this service one Reader from each church officiated. After the reading of the Thanksgiving Lesson many testimonies were given, appropriate to the occasion, and at the conclusion of the meeting the following message from our Leader, through her secretary, to the members of Second Church was read. This message was in reply to a letter from the members of Second Church, informing her of the organization of that church.

Dear Friends:—Your letter of recent date addressed to Mrs. Eddy has been received and read with interest. On behalf of our Leader, permit me to express to you her loving appreciation of your assurances of loyalty and gratitude, and further to inform you of her pleasure in learning that you have established a new branch in the vineyard whereon is to grow the fruits of healing and regeneration. Second Church of Christ, Scientist, of Manchester, thus starting as the outgrowth of multiplication and not division, is moving forward in accord with the "eternal mandate of Mind" (Science and Health, p. 520).

Sincerely yours,
Wm. R. Rathvon, Associate Secretary.
