The religious cult called Christian Science has made amazing progress since it was instituted 29 years ago. The founder of it, Dr. Mary Baker Eddy of Boston, promulgated the new faith in the year 1866, and now the followers of it have 200 incorporated churches in the United States, while numerous detached bodies worship in a less formal manner. Next to the Bible the follower of Christian Science holds in reverence the book of the faith which Mrs. Eddy published in 1875. It is called "Science and Health" and has gone through 97 editions. It is a key to the Gospel in the light of Christian Science or, more properly, Christian knowledge as Mrs. Eddy believes it to have been revealed to her. It is reported that the cult has almost as many followers in Europe as in America, and among these are persons of prominence in political, literary, and artistic life.— Buffalo Daily Courier
