Thanksgiving from Abroad

The progressive development of Christian Science in our country has been marked since 1940. Before the war there were two Christian Science Societies and two Reading Rooms serving a comparatively small number of Scientists. When invasion seemed imminent, many business houses moved their personnel to less vulnerable areas and the societies were thus deprived of the services of many of their members.

Immediately thereafter, troops began to pour into this district, and our activities increased as the opportunities for service multiplied many times. During this period it seemed as though the librarian in our Reading Room was all that was stationary in a revolving universe. Many requests for assistance were gladly taken care of.

When restrictions were imposed on imports early in the war, we found ourselves utterly dependent on divine Love for the meeting of our increasing need for Bibles and copies of the Christian Science textbook and periodicals. Some had to wait for months to borrow a book.
