Greenville, North Carolina (Society).

With identical services in the morning and afternoon, Christian Science Society, Greenville, dedicated their new edifice, a Colonial structure of red brick with white columns, at Meade and East Fourth Streets.

Christian Science had its beginning in Greenville toward the close of the last century; a woman supposedly on her deathbed studied "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, received a complete healing, and proceeded to thirty years of ministry as a Christian Science practitioner. Members of her family and others would gather in her home every Sunday to read the Lesson-Sermon as given in the Christian Science Quarterly. As the congregation increased they progressed to Pythian Hall, and, in March, 1935, The Mother Church recognized the society as a branch. More suitable quarters were secured two years later at the Woman's Club.
