Among the Churches

Montana.—During the last year three cards announcing church services have been added to the list in The Christian Science Journal. This is indicative of the growth of the movement in this state. There are a great many calls for Christian Science treatment in towns where there are no practitioners. Ten free subscriptions to the Monitor were placed in the Glacier National Park hotels and chalets during the park season. Eight subscriptions to the Monitor are being donated to the state prison, at Deer Lodge. Daily copies of the Monitor are being supplied to the Y. M. C. A. reading tables at Fort William Henry Harrison. This office supplied the Montana Soldiers' Home at Columbia Falls with a renewal subscription to the Sentinel and the Journal; also, a renewal subscription to the Sentinel, Journal, and Monitor to the U. S. S. Montana. Two subscriptions to the Quarterly were supplied the state prison, one to the women's department and one to the men's department. Nine copies of "The Life of Mary Baker Eddy," by Sibyl Wilbur, have been donated to ministers in the various cities of this state.

There has been a final disposition made of the Bozeman court cases. Litigation covering a period of nearly four years was brought to a close by a dismissal. On March 2, 1914, three Christian Science practitioners, residing in Gallatin and Park Counties, were charged by the county attorney for Gallatin County with practicing medicine without a certificate. The defense filed a demurrer, which was sustained. The state then appealed the cases. They were finally dismissed by the Attroney-General.
