Extracts from Reports on Their Service to College Students

Our Reading Room window displays have brought many inquiries about Christian Science from college students. Classwork and discussions on the campus have also brought young people to the Reading Room to inquire about Mary Baker Eddy and her work, and how the world has acknowledged her. One young man who was writing a theme about Mrs. Eddy for a course he was taking was delighted to find in the foreword of "Twelve Years with Mary Baker Eddy" Mark Twain's reversal of his earlier statements. He was so much pleased with this book that he was referred to the biography of Mrs. Eddy by Dr. Lyman P. Powell. He learned a great deal, he said, from these two authorized volumes on our Leader's life.

Members of the Christian Science Organization on the campus make systematic use of the Reading Room for individual study, and some of them find the study room a convenient place in which to work out the Bible Lessons in the Christian Science Quarterly.

Advertising of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy and our Reading Room in the local paper has led to sales of the textbook and of the Church Manual to college students. Some students come in each week for the new Sentinel, while others come when new Quarterlies are needed.
