Small in membership but large in its outgoing love for mankind, members of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Fall River Mills, California, first keep a loving eye on the community, providing sixteen literature distribution boxes in the area with fresh literature at least once a week—sometimes more often. One box is in a hospital. A prison camp nearby knows it can rely on these Scientists for a faithful supply of The Christian Science Monitor. Two local high school teachers, one a minister of his church, were glad to have a complete set of Monitors carrying the series, "Blacks in America." The high school library subscribes to the Monitor.
The community keeps leading to the wider world. Some women from Mexico working in the strawberry harvest found a Spanish Edition of The Herald of Christian Science in one of the boxes in a beauty shop. They told the shop owner they wanted to know more about Christian Science. The shop owner, who is not a Christian Scientist, although he has a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy and gives out much Christian Science literature to interested customers, notified the distribution committee, which responded with an armload of literature for these harvesters to take back to Mexico with them.
A distinguished South African minister visited Fall River Mills while attending a series of conferences in the United States on "youth unrest." The distribution committee took this opportunity to give him a complete set of Monitors with Howard James's series, "Children in Trouble." They have also sent packages of Heralds in twelve languages to the church at Coos Bay, Oregon, for ships bound overseas.
