In the May, 1901, Journal we published an account of the dedication of the Christian Science Church edifice at Riverside, Cal., on Sunday morning, February 24, 1901. We also published an extract from the dedicatory address of Mrs. Emma S. Davis, C.S.B., delivered on that occasion. In that address Mrs. Davis made the following statement:
"For a long time I have been solicited by friends in the East to give an account of my pioneer work in California. They have sent me many questions to answer. Some weeks since I began, in a brief way, to reply to them. In making preparation for our dedication I have been persuaded to bring these questions and answers here this morning and read them, thinking there might be some present who would be interested to learn something of the early work in Riverside.
"I have not answered these questions in detail, as some of my experience was similar to that which all pioneers fall heir to, particularly if expounders of a so-called new interpretation of the Bible and its teaching, hence I desire to recount only some of the most pleasant reminiscences."
