Reading the many beautiful testimonies in the Journal and Sentinel prompted me to write a few lines from this field of labor, and thereby contribute to our periodicals.
The work is growing here very nicely. A number of the most prominent business men and women of the city have taken treatment and been greatly benefited during the past year; and they are now reading Science and Health, the Journal, and Sentinel, and are coming into the work.
Much has been accomplished by the lectures delivered in this city by Mrs. Knott and Judge Ewing. Great good is being derived from the work done by the lecturers in all parts of the Field.
"Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker G. Eddy, "Miscellaneous Writings" by same author, the Journal and Sentinel, are at the City Library, and a committee attends to keeping literature at the depots, hotels, etc.
We have been for three or four years making visits to the county jail once a week, reading to the inmates from the Bible and Science and Health, and distributing tracts, Journals, and Sentinels. There have been copies of the Bible, Science and Health, and "Miscellaneous Writings" left there for the perusal of the prisoners. The inmates are generally very attentive to our reading, and we have had beautiful demonstrations, and expressions of thankfulness from them for the light that has come to their consciousness. Two copies of Science and Health have found their way from this point into the Jeffersonville Reformatory, and one into the Michigan City Prison. We have received letters from the boys, thanking us for our kindness, saying that they were studying their books. We feel that there has been much good seed sown in this prison work, and in time it will produce fruit.
