A patient who was recently healed through Christian Science, when told she needed no more treatments, slipped into her healer's hand a ten dollar bill, saying it was for the new Church to be built in Boston, adding, "I want to give it,— I must do as much as this to help suffering humanity out of bondage. Christian Science has done so much for me, I must do this."
The work so nobly begun for the building of our Church edifice is prospering, and will be speedily accomplished if we, as students, are faithful in labor for the practical demonstration of Truth and Love, as enjoined by our Teacher, and Leader. We find proof of this in the above incident, how those who have never studied, but in coming under the hallowed influence and healing benefits of Christian Science, purchase Science and Health, and without any solicitation from the practitioner, are giving their love-offerings for the Church that is so dear to us.
The thought comes, right here: were all the students and patients, throughout the land, to send one dollar each, which is but one tenth of the above mentioned love-offering, the work would be commenced at once, and God's name be established and glorified in our midst.—
