IN THE PAPERS

From the May 1887 issue of The Christian Science Journal

Sunday Record


[Sunday Record.]

Recently, in Iowa, a Christian Scientist was arrested for healing in accordance with the teachings of Rev. M. B. G. Eddy's book entitled Science and Health. The judge looked over the book and dismissed the case, declaring that the complainants had no case, though God had one. This, with other noticeable facts, was related at the recent annual meeting, the first ever held, of the National Association of Christian Scientists. Numerous members were present from nearly twenty States and Territories. The old board of officers was re-elected. Though not having time to preside (Henry P. Bailey, of Boston, occupying the chair) Mrs. Eddy held a reception at her residence, and also gave the annual address, subject, Our Ideals, at the Meionaon, besides answering many questions from the audience. The utmost harmony prevailed at all the meetings.
