"I serve as librarian in a Christian Science Reading Room located near a large concentration of hippies," says a member of Twentieth Church of Christ, Scientist, Los Angeles, California.
"One day three of these young people, two boys and a girl, were walking by the Reading Room. The girl knew me, and so brought the two boys in. After my initial surprise at seeing the young people with bare feet and all outward appearance of what is known as 'hippie,' I gathered my thoughts and conducted myself as a genuine, loving, Christian Science Reading Room librarian.
"The talk I had with them resulted in their attending our church for a Wednesday evening testimony meeting. One of the boys was so profoundly interested in what he heard that I felt led to give him a paperback copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. Shortly after this his mother came from another city to discover what was going on in her son's life. She is active in another denomination. The mother was weeping and brokenhearted because her son had left his home and a very good job to join the hippies.
