WORKS AS WELL AS WORDS

From the September 1895 issue of The Christian Science Journal


A FEW days ago I was called to Stillwater, Oklahoma, to help dedicate a church builded by the Christian Scientists in that place and vicinity. Stillwater is an inland town of about one thousand inhabitants. The nearest railroad is twenty miles distant.

It is a matter of interest to know that another church edifice is added to the yet limited number, but there are some facts relative to the building of this structure which belong alone perhaps to the demonstrations of Christian Scientists, and are worthy of a place in our Journal.

We seldom see as great earnestness in any cause as is manifested by Christian Scientists in their cause; neither such willingness to sacrifice. This building was paid for by about fifteen Scientists, and by those who seemed to need every dollar for their own necessities. There was not one rich man to cast in of his abundance. The widow's mite paid it all.
