A perfect day until three o.clock, then it has become cloudy. all well, (at five o.clock, sun out) at eleven o.clock, Mrs Henry Llewellyn, Winston William Wirt, Marie, and I, also Carl Bates, all went to the Scientist Church, on Ellis Avenue the services are, simply bible reading, singing, and prayer, one solo sung by a lady, and silent prayer, they have a good organ. Mr Root is the organist, they have a full church, all the time, I think they have five Scientist Churches, in Chicago, all paid for, they don't build until they have the money, I am told. their religion is simple, and suited for all. their bible, faith in Christ, and Mrs Eddy's book of ? explanation of the Scripture, is all.
