Dear Journal:— We have been much more backward than we should have been, in sending a word of thankfulness, and, we trust, also of encouragement, in slight return for the help you bring us so constantly; for we are all members of the one family, and "none of us liveth to himself," all striving to reflect the One Mind, One Life, Truth, and Love.
We came to Cripple Creek to live in February, 1896, leaving a dear little band of Scientists in Leadville, Colorado, and hoping to find one here; but after seeing this and that one who were spoken of as Scientists, I found them without our text-book, Science and Health (which no true Scientist is ever long without), or if they did own one it was not to use.
I was made happy the second week in July, by having two Scientists from Denver, who had come here to live, call, announcing themselves as such, and we determined at once to put a notice in the paper asking students of the Bible, and Science and Health, to meet at one of our rooms the next Sunday. One of the ladies was to be away, but it left two of us to read the lesson, which we decided to do, thus taking our stand at once. Eight came beside the readers; but only one came again, and she brought a copy of Science and Health with her.
