Items of Interest

A group of young people, all interested to some extent in Christian Science, one day resolved that no obstacle which they could rightly surmount should deep them from attending the Wednesday evening meetings of the Christian Science church. The moving picture was always to be visited on some other weekday; other places of entertainment also.

These young people had become associated in a club of their own planning which was for diversion, improvement, and social activities. Some discussion of features in The Christian Science Monitor, in which they all were interested, occupied part of the time at each of their meetings, that they had chosen to open by reading a few verses from the Bible followed by silent prayer and the audible repetition of the Lord's Prayer. Justifiably, they could feel that they were exemplifying, with reasonable success, their conviction that good fun and wholesome recreation can go hand in hand with education, right living, and love for that which is spiritual and good.

Following the making of this resolution, eighteen of the twenty young men and women were present at the Wednesday evening meeting of their branch church. At another time, meeting with a junior club they had helped to organize, and with two other similar clubs from near-by cities, they mentioned their decision to attend the Wednesday evening meetings regularly, and added that one of their number had overcome self-consciousness or fear sufficiently of permit him, at the aforesaid Wednesday meeting, to add his testimony to those of the older people who expressed their gratitude for knowing the truth of Christian Science and experiencing its many blessings.
