HISTORY OF A BRANCH CHURCH

From the March 1897 issue of The Christian Science Journal


About four years ago, a student of Christian Science moved to a Canadian town where there were no Scientists, The study of the Bible Lessons was begun at once, although there were but three in the family to attend the service. "Not in the words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and with power." was the seed sown.

In a short time, the wives of three prominent residents were lifted out of chronic invalidism, one of them having been ill for over twenty years. These three families accepted Christian Science, and withdrew from the Presbyterian church, one of the number having been a deacon for many years.

As soon as the way opened, three of this number took class instruction with a normal student of Mrs. Eddy's, and not long after two more students of the same teacher moved to the town, thus forming a little band of loyal workers.
