GROWTH OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

We are reminded OF the growth Of
Christian Science by the information
that the Christian kcientists OF New
York city have jus. opened the arst e1i-
flee OF their body in Kew York city. The
society OF tho First Church of Christ,
Scientist, row occupies the church
building, formerly OF the Rev. II. HEBER
NEWTON for which they paid $4,000.
New York City has two other organ
lied bodies OF Christian Scientists, be-
sides this one that has now come into
possession OF an imposing church home.
There are said to be over $50, coo adher-
ents OF the faith Of Christ, Scientist, and
they support publishing house and at
least one monthly publication. The
mother church has its home in Boston,
where it has a s22O,010 edihce, built rs

"discoverer and founder OF Christian Sci.
enee, "by the Scientists Of the world. And
there are more than 400 congregations in
this country and Canada.
Christian Scientists declare that the.
healing OF the sick Is an essential part OF
the Christian religion. They urge that
this implies no new faith, no mere inva-
sion Of the field Of medical practice, but
a restoration OF the true work OF Christ
and OF the primitive Christian religion,
which en- bracsd the heplinF Of tho stick,

the sick was o. much part Of early
Christianity as the reclsiming Of the sin

viii be Interested in tie forthcoming
"bome Congress, to be opened in Bos-
ton, October s, even though few women
may be able TO attend oil its sessions, and
many even may not to able to attend any
OF them.
But 1t Is to be a fine thing, neverthe-
less, is this Home Congress-a bran new
scheme except that at the food show
couple OF years back there was held such
a congress on a modest scale. The com
ing congress, however, is to be an i'm
posing affair. Why, it is TO last five
weeks, from October TO November z,
inclusive-and three sessions a day every
day OF these i've weeks.
The purpose OF the congress is educs-
tional, and naturally it proposes TO work
through womsnkind. 10 proposes to
spread an interest in the economy of the
home that shall command recognition
as other economics do by societies, or
CARNATIONS and even by the national
government. The congress will com
mand the services OF experts in home
making and persons OF authority in the
art and science Of nutrition, agricultu-
raj hygienio and sociological INTEREST,",
and there will be instruction in all OF
these and also on life and character de-
velopment. The term educational"
comprehends wonderful program Of
courses.
We find on the prospectus OF the Con-
gress submitted to us splendid list of
educators in various branches OF the
things OF human interest. rne sessions arc
to bo divided in departments by weeks.
The fret week will bs devoted to addresses
and discussions as to physical develop
ment; the second to the brain develop
ment of mau and his producing power; I;
the third to moral development; the
fourth to the aesthetic in life, and the
fifth and last will be occupied by the
National Council OF women. Every after.
noon, there are to be scientific lectures
on the therapeutics Of food aud diet.
We should say that no such opportunity
to take a course In life and living has
ever been offered anywhere In the world.
