HOW CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
DOES ITS Bit IN WAR

About 29,500 articles were prepared
and sent to enlisted men and wal
refugees by the comforts forwarding
committee, conducted by the Christian
Scientists of the Boston district and
located at 328 BaylstOn street, Boston
during the first three months of the
committees work. Among the goods
forwarded were 10000 knitted articles
and comfort kits, $500 articles of new
clothing for French, Italian, Belgian
and Serbian refugee children, and
about 5000 selected secondhand or
remade articles of clothing.
One American ship has been sup
piled with enough knitted goods, total
ing $500 pieces, to equip all the sail
ors on board. A large number of the
knitted garments and other comforts
have been turned over to the different
war relief associations in Boston,
which are in direct communication
with the people of their respective
countries, notably the British, French,
Italian and Belgian associations.
Some of the recruits from Boston for
the British and Canadian forces were
supplied with knitting articles before
they left home.
feature of the comforts forward
ing committees work which has
brought splendid results is the unit
system of preparing new garments
for refugee children. Ten of the COM
H,sC+ IL
making Of a model garment, each OF
the ten instructed ten others and the
latter became captains of teams of ten
others whom they in turn instructed.
Two groups of team captains meet
at the committees rooms every day to
receive instructions and material for
use by themselves and the members
Of their respective teams, who work
at leisure moments at home Thus 100
sewers are banded together for this
particular part of the committees
program and they are turning out an
average of over 1000 garments a week
In this work they have been greatly
assisted by one of the patriotic man
ufacturing companies Of Boston
which offered and has undertaken to
do all the cutting required.
Before beginning to sew for the re-
fugees of any country, the committee
ascertained not only what articles
were needed, but also the form and
material desired, so far as was pos
sible
1t was learned for instance that Co
common an article of general use as
pillow case was, in one country
very unlike the pillow case of the
American home. For knitters, wool is
sold over the counter instructions
are given, and the finished garment
is returned to the committees head
quarters when ready. In addition
there are four knitting machines in
operation, on each-of which it is DOS
slble to knit a pair Of socks in twenty
minutes
Much praise is given to the com
forts forwarding committee of the
Christian Scientists by persons asso
ciated with other war relief organi
cations, for the high quality of the
articles produced and the systematic
manner Of their production Nearly
800 such committees are conducted BY
Christian Scientists throughout thu
