Freedom and Church

CATHERINE H. LEWIS

Life in the mountains—heavenly! Beautiful, rugged country to explore, peace and quiet, much freedom—but no church to attend! Having recently discovered the riches of attending a Church of Christ, Scientist, my husband and I found ourselves in our new home with no church to go to. We began to hold services for ourselves each Sunday and Wednesday.

Gradually the news got out that there were Christian Science services "up on the hill," and others began to attend. We soon found we had to be at our posts as Readers every week without fail. Now, we loved the services, but being at a certain place at a certain time twice a week was something we just were not used to. We had lived a very free and easy life, living outdoors, backpacking, hiking, never staying in one place too long.
