Among the Churches

Current Notes

Northern California.—The literature distribution committees report greatly increased work, and literature is being more widely distributed. A number of boats leaving the various ports are being supplied with bundles of literature for both the officers and the crew. Those having charge of the work of visiting jails, penitentiaries, and places of a similar nature, report that the literature is anxiously waited for and eagerly taken and read. Regular services are being held on the first and third Sundays of each month at San Quentin, the attendance averaging about two hundred. Bundles of Sentinels, Journals, Monitors, and pamphlets are sent over each week, and are then distributed by a committee from the Christian Science churches in San Francisco. About fifty subscriptions to the Monitor are being sent to Folsom. The work there is taken care of by the literature distribution committee from the churches in Sacramento, and the expense is met by the committees on publication for northern and southern California from their general fund.

The San Francisco Examiner and Berkeley Gazette have published in full the lectures delivered in San Francisco and Berkeley during the year. The San Francisco papers containing these lectures have been given wide circulation by the Christian Science committee on expositions, who have purchased and mailed them to the Christian Science churches and societies in northern California. Lectures have also been published in full in numerous other papers throughout the state, and these have been widely distributed by the local distribution committees.

The Trustees under the Will of Mary Baker Eddy are renewing subscriptions to Christian Science periodicals which are being sent to libraries throughout the state, and also placing Christian Science literature in libraries that have not already been supplied.—Committee on Publication.
