CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH.

The Christian Science church was founded in 1879 by Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer of Christian Science and author of its textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." The church was organized to "commemorate the word and works of our Master, which should reinstate primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing" (Church Manual). Its proper name is The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. It is also known as The Mother Church. The present officers of The Mother Church are:

President-Dr. Francis J. Fluno.
Clerk-Charles E. Jarvis.
Treasurer-Edward L. Ripley.
Directors-John V. Dittemore, Adam H. Dickey,
James A. Neal, Edward A. Merritt, William
R. Rathvon.

All Christian Science churches and societies in the United States and in foreign countries are branches of The Mother Church. Lesson-sermons

compiled from the bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mrs. Eddy, are read at the services in Christian Science churches.

The Christian Science Journal, Sentinel, Quarterly, Der Herold der Christian Science, Le Heraut de Christian Science and The Christian Science Monitor (an international daily newspaper) are published by The Christian Science Publishing society in Boston.

There is in connection with the Christian Science movement an official board of lectureship designed to furnish the public correct information concerning the fundamental teachings of Christian Science. Lectures given by members of this board are free to the public.

FEDERAL COUNCIL OF THE CHURCHES OF
CHRIST IN AMERICA.

Organized in December, 1908.

241,946 in regular gymnasium classes; 200 athletic fields; 239 railroad associations with 94,126 members; 791 student associations with 51,117 members; boy membership, 152,647.

In addition there are (Nov. 1) over 200,000 stars in the Y. M. C. A. service flag. The association renders large and increasing service in connection with the great war. In America there are now 4,559 secretaries serving soldiers and sailors in many hundreds of camps and naval stations. Overseas 7,000 men from America have been sent for Y. M. C. A. service with special reference to the American expeditionary forces in France, but also at the earnest request of the governments of France, Italy, Russia and other countries for their own armies. This service--to take the sick out of homesick and helpfully strengthen the morale of the United States army and also of the allies and the prisoners of war-now costs the American association over $7,000,000 a month, and of necessity must increase to meet demands until the war is won.
