Dear Journal.—Thinking you might like to hear of the progress of Science in East Los Angeles, I (the Secretary of the society) send you a copy of our first yearly report.
Report of the Eddy Society, June 26, 1889. The Eddy Society was organized one year ago the twenty-sixth of June, with nine members, with Mrs. J. B. P. as president, the society to meet each Tuesday afternoon, each member agreeing to devote a portion of time each day to study; the studies to begin in Science And Health, and continue through the book. The admission fee is one dollar. No one is admitted into the society who has not taken lessons of our Teacher or her pupils. We use her works a our text books, with others endorsed by her. Now at the close of the year we have thirty members, have distributed thirty copies of Science and Health, twenty “Science and the Bible," one dozen “Bird's-eye View," one and a half dozen "Rudiments and Rules," one and a half dozen “No and Yes." We also have a small library consisting of two or three dozen of the above named books, with three Science and Health. We have ordered one dozen “Unity of Good." In the treasury, sixteen dollars and seventy-five cents. The society has been run with but little expense. The exercises consist of Bible reading, then a study of seven leaves of Science and Health. We have finished the book and have begun to re-study it. These readings have been very beneficial to us all. In the society are seven who have been accustomed to the use of glasses, who read and do all necessary work without them, besides others who have been healed of beliefs of Consumption, Neuralgia, and other long standing beliefs.
We enjoy the Journal very much. East Los Angeles, Cal.
