Current Notes
Detroit, Mich. (Third Church).—In December, 1922, the corner stone was laid of the church edifice of Third Church of Christ, Scientist, Detroit. This church was formed in December, 1912, to meet the growing needs of the Cause of Christian Science in the North Woodward section of Detroit, and to relieve the overcrowded condition of First Church. Soon after the formation of Third Church a building fund was established; but in view of the needs of the older branch churches in Detriot the entire amount subscribed and the proceeds of the monthly building fund collections were presented to First and Second Churches, until the dedication of their respective edifices. In 1921, collections for the building fund were suspended in order that a monthly contribution might be offered to The Mother Church.
The regenerative process of the Christ, Truth, as it has been revealed by our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, is well typified in the growth of this loyal branch of the parent vine. The potents of materiality have been proved incapable of disturbing the unity demonstrated by rallying to Principle and by unswerving obedience to the Manual of The Mother Church, or of checking progress based on the consecrated endeavor to emulate the Master's works of healing the sick and the sinning. In rough places and smooth, the members of this branch have found that the com munity's need of the shelter and power afforded by a Church of Christ; Scientist, can be met only "from the summit of devout consecration, with the oil of gladness and the perfume of gratitude," as Mrs. Eddy says in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 367). Each passing year has unfolded new opportunities to verify the truth of our Leader's statement on page 127 of "Miscellaneous Writings," "Hitherto, I have observed that in proportion as this church has smiled on His 'little ones,' He has blessed her."—Correspondence.
CHARLESTON, S. C. (Society). — Christian Scientists recently held the first service in their church. The new building for the Christian Society, recently completed, is a simple white structure. Its interior, with oak furnishings, cream walls, and amber windows, is filled with light. Members of the organization are very happy at this "outward and visible sign" of spiritual progress and achievement. They feel it is a step forward in the activity of the church organized "to commemorate the word and works of our MAster, which should reinstate primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing" (Church Manual, p. 17).—News and Courier.
