The Lecture at Music Hall

with contributions from Dr. George L. Perin

Among the notable events in the history of Christian Science in the city of Boston, was the occasion of the delivery of the lecture of Rev. Irving C. Tomlinson, C.S.B., of Concord, N. H., at Music Hall, April 5, 1899. This lecture was delivered under the auspices of the Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass., and was one of the regular quarterly lectures.

Since the inauguration of the quarterly lectures they have been delivered (in Boston) in the auditorium of the Mother Church, but owing to the overcrowded condition of the auditorium at previous lectures, it was thought best to secure a larger place. Accordingly, Music Hall was secured for the lecture in question.

Although notice had not been extensively published, early in the evening crowds began to assemble in the hall, and long before the hour for the commencement of the lecture the hall was completely filled. When the lecture opened every seat was occupied, and not less than a thousand persons were standing in the aisles and by the doorways, and in the corridors, filling the doorways. Several hundred went away unable to find seats or standing room, such as would enable them to hear.
