Our Church Services

Estimating the future progress of Christian Science by the past two decades of its history, one is reminded of our Leader's prophetic statement at the time of the dedication of the original edifice of The Mother Church in 1895: "If the lives of Christian Scientists attest their fidelity to Truth, I predict that in the twentieth century every Christian church in our land, and a few in far-off lands, will approximate the understanding of Christian Science sufficiently to heal the sick in his name".
A few days ago the Herald called attention to a bill before the Legislature which would prevent members of the Christian Science faith from practising in the state without a medical license.

Overcoming Error

When I read in the Monitor some time ago of an invention which was being tried by a railroad company in Canada for the control of trains with the view of avoiding accidents, the thought came to me that an invention which would sound an alarm on approach of trouble and so avoid disaster and waste in the business in which I am engaged would be a great boon to every one connected with it.

[The Christian Work]
I have read with great interest your report of the Thanksgiving service held by First Church of Christ, Scientist, Bolton, and while fully appreciating the fairness of that report, I should be glad if you would kindly afford me the opportunity of making one or two statements with regard to it, as otherwise some misconception as to the nature and operation of Christian Science is likely to arise therefrom; and I am sure that is far from your intention.
I have read with interest the account in The Scotsman of the address on "Ghosts" delivered by a clergyman in the United Free Assembly Hall.
The report of a sermon by a local minister in a recent issue couples a statement regarding a lack of understanding of God and the Bible today with a reference to Christian Science.
Many people have been led to believe that Christian Scientists are enemies of the medical profession.
