Inspiring Christian Science Exhibit

The display of Christian Science World Activities in the Christian Science Building, 16th and I Streets, N.W., Washington. D.C.. fills the need for an exhibit in Washington to which all who visit the capital may come and there gain a clearer understanding of Christian Science and of all it has to offer mankind.

The story of the world-encircling growth of the Christian Science movement is told in miniature and model, in sound and picture, in this free permanent exhibit. It unfolds, for example, the simple New England background of our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, and depicts the activities of The Mother Church, including a tour through the Christian Science Publishing House. One of the unusual features is the "listening chair, in which visitors may sit and listen to a series of three-minute talks on Christian Science which are beamed to their ears alone from vitaphone outlets concealed in the headrest of the three wing chairs. The tone is modulated so that these talks are inaudible to others in the room.

Since its opening last year, many thousands have visited the exhibit. They have come not only from all parts of the United States and Canada, but also from many countries overseas, such as England, Switzerland. Norway, Siam, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and South America. Visitors are from all walks of life and are of many different faiths.
