A Home and Health Society

By Iza E. Clement

MRS. IZA E. CLEMENT

The ladies of the Boulder (Colo.) church have organized a Home and Health society, with the motto, “A united effort for the improvement of our homes.”

Our program consists of papers and discussions on topics pertaining to the spiritual and healthful welfare of the home. The lady doctors of the sanitarium present the scientific and medical subjects, and then answer questions; thus affording us golden opportunities, which we appreciate very much. Different ones are appointed each week to lead out in the spiritual themes, and these are followed by a free discussion.

We have weekly prayer bands, which meet every Wednesday afternoon, and pray for some special object or soul, and cling to the promises of God until that particular prayer is answered.

Another feature of our work is the circulating library, consisting of such periodicals as Life and Health, American Motherhood, etc. We also have a scrapbook, given us by Dr. Kate Lindsay, in which we paste the most interesting articles from other magazines, thus providing ourselves with the best reading-matter obtainable.

A class has been organized in which a thorough training in Bible and periodical work, and Bible study will be given. This class expects to gain a good practical experience in the REVIEW campaign and Signs work this winter.

That this organization will be a blessing to our homes is already apparent, and its influence has extended beyond the boundaries of our own denomination, and been the means of interesting two women not of our faith. One of them attended Sabbath-school and church services last Sabbath, as well as the woman's meeting in the afternoon, and declared her determination to be present at every session of our society.
