CHURCHES AND SOCIETIES

From the April 1899 issue of The Christian Science Journal


About nine years ago Christian Science was first introduced in Pueblo by one of Mrs. Eddy's loyal students. Previous to that time there had been a great deal of false teaching which many of us had been induced to follow, but we were only too glad to turn from it when we found the one and only true way.

In 1891 a church was organized, with a charter membership of nineteen. For some time we had held our meetings in a parlor rented for that purpose, but about a year ago we were compelled to obtain larger quarters. In our search we found an old church near us, which had been used for a carpenter shop, and in size and location it was just what we needed. The agent of the property accepted our terms for rental. Then came the time for a financial demonstration. Our rent was more than doubled, and repairs to the amount of one hundred and fifty dollars were necessary. There was no money in the treasury, but with a courage born of conviction known only to a Christian Scientist, we went to work.

Easter morning, six weeks later, we held the first service in our new home with all expenses paid. At that time we had eighteen members.
