Space does not admit of an elaborate presentation on the occasion of the
erection of the temple, in Boston, the dedication taking place on the 6th
of January, of one of the most remarkable, helpful, and powerful movements
of the last quarter of the century. Christian Science has brought hope and
comfort to many weary souls. It makes people better and happier. Welding
Christianity and Science, hitherto divorced because dogma and truth could
not unite, was a happy inspiration.

"And still we love the evil cause,
And of the just effect complain;
We tread upon life's broken laws,
And mourn our self-inflicted pain."

A CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH

A great Christian Science church was dedicated in Boston on Sunday, the 6th
inst. It is located at Norway and Falmouth Streets, and is intended to be a
testimonial to the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, the Rev.
Mary Baker Eddy. The building is fire-proof, and cost over two hundred
thousand dollars. It is entirely paid for, and contributions for its
erection came from every State in the Union, and from many lands. The
auditorium is said to seat between fourteen and fifteen hundred, and was
thronged at the four services on the day of dedication. The sermon,
prepared by Mrs. Eddy, was read by Mrs. Bemis. It rehearsed the
significance of the building, and reenunciated the truths which will find
emphasis there. From the description we judge that it is one of the most
beautiful buildings in Boston, and, indeed, in all New England. Whatever
may be thought of the peculiar tenets of the Christian Scientists, and
whatever difference of opinion there may be concerning the organization of
such a church, there can be no question but that the adherents of this
church have proved their faith by their works.

"OUR PRAYER IN STONE"

Such is the excellent name given to a new Boston church. Few people outside
its own circles realize how extensive is the belief in Christian Science.
There are several sects of mental healers, but this new edifice on Back
Bay, just off Huntington Avenue, not far from the big Mechanics Building
and the proposed site of the new Music Hall, belongs to the followers of
Rev. Mary Baker Glover Eddy, a lady born of an
