THE ONLY CHURCH IN THE UNITED STATES BUILT BY CHILDREN

From the February 1899 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Under the above title there comes to us from the Hon. Wm. G. Ewing, one of the judges of the Superior Court of Chicago, a most interesting account of the building of a Christian Science church by children at Schofield, Wisconsin.

Of all the beautiful demonstrations in connection with Christian Science church-building this leads the van. No one can peruse this sweet bit of history without feeling strongly reminded of the Scriptural prophecy, so familiar to all Christian Scientists, "and a little child shall lead them." Verily the children in this case have shown themselves leaders in the most advanced religious movement in the world. They have set, as stated in the article, an example for their elders well worthy of emulation. God will prosper such work as this in bountiful measure, and down the centuries will go, as one of its brightest pages in religious history, this "demonstration" of a Christian Science church built exclusively by children.

Following is Judge Ewing's account:—
