IN THE PUBLIC LIBRARIES

From the May 1897 issue of The Christian Science Journal


"SCIENCE and Health with Key to the Scriptures" has recently been placed in the "Fisk Free and Public Library" of New Orleans; also the Journal.The text-book is now in all the public libraries of that city. In the following also have been placed the text-book and Journal:—

The Public School Library of McHenry, Illinois; the Public Library of Winthrop, Mass; Turner Grange Library, Turner Centre, Me.; and The Peter White Public Library of Marquette, Mich. In the latter place also the text-book has been placed in the State House of Correction and Branch Prison. A pocket containing the Bible and Christian Science literature has been placed in the waiting rooms of the Duluth, South Shore, & Atlantic Railway of that city. Word also comes from a faithful worker in Kansas City that a third edition of the text-book has been placed in the Public Library there. When presented the question was asked if there was any demand for the books. The reply was, "They are out all the time." The Journal is also placed every month on the table in the Ladies' Reception Room in the largest dry goods house in that city.

The writer adds: "The New Book, 'Miscellaneous Writings,' is truly wonderful. It brings our latent errors to the surface, and we feel like crying, 'God be merciful to me, a sinner.' But when we repent and see this mortal self in all its hideousness, we are quieted by the Love it portrays, and find ourselves on a higher plane, able to reflect more grace, mercy, and charity, as becometh a true Christian Scientist."
