Helpful Christian Scientists.


Here is good work by the Comforts
Forwarding committee conducted by
the Christian Scientists of the Boston
district. 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,

or re-made articles of clothing.
One American ship has been supplied
with enough knitted goods, totaling

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,

Much praise has been given to the
Comforts Forwarding committee Of the

tions,, for the high quality of the arti-
cles produced and the systematic man
ner of their production. Nearly 500
