CHRISTIAN SCIENCE OFFICIAUI
Speedy action was taken by the
ChrfWIAti SClehce organization In Bos
ton to' provide relief for Halifax peo
ple who are in distress on account of
the explosion of the munitions ship
and the resulting fire. Efforts to send
aid on Saturday were at first hamper
ed by reason of the fact that there
was no through train available at the
time when a party could be made
ready to start. Agents of the Christ- j
Ion Science Board of Directors were
able, however, to make arrangement
with the Boston & Maine Railroad for
a special train, which left this city
Saturday evening, saving many hours
in getting the needed aid to its des
tination.
Meanwhile in Boston, special ar
rangements were made for special col
lections in The Mother Church, and
also in many of the branch churches
in other cities, and the comforts for
warding committee took charge of the
gathering of clothing and supplies,
and the forwarding of them to Hali
; fax.
Besides 910,000 In cash and let
ters ait credit, the representatives ot
the Directors took first aid in the
form ot warm clothing, food and oth
er necessary articles to be distributed
among the sufferers at Halifax.
On board the special train, as rep
resentatives of the Board of Directors
were: Ralph E. Parker, Mrs. Edith
W. ParliCr, Charles H. Welch. Wil
liam Bradford Turiier, R. Howard
Cooley and Dr. Prank C. Colby.
When ft became known that a train
had been arranged for, by the Direc
tors, City Hall officials telephoned
saying that certain others wished to
send along some of their material, so
that the special train of the Christian
Scientists actually carried 30 or 40
others Interested in giving aid or in
reaching Halifax at the earliest pos
sible moment.
A special collection taken at the
services In The Mother Church on
Sunday, which Is but a preliminary
one, as no proper notice had been
given, amounted to $4,693.04. Also if
further relief is necessary, and direc
tors are prepared to send nurses, etc.
Collections taken In Christian Science
branch churches are also vet to be re
ported and made available.
A message was received in The
Mother Church from Jennie li. Stev
ens, representing Christian Scientists
in Halifax reading as follows: "Grate
fully report all our people safe and
well.”
A telegram from Mr. Welch, one of
the party, received by Mrs. Welch, in
Boston, stated that tbe train arrived
two hours late in Fredericton Junc
tion, N. B. It said that the weather
was good and they bad a fine trip.
