About the Communion

All the Boston daily newspapers the day after the Communion services at the Mother Church published excellent reports of the day's proceedings. The Herald report was reprinted almost entire in the Sentinel last week. The attitude of the other papers may be gathered from the following brief extracts from their reports :—

There were twenty-four hundred and fifty persons admitted to membership in The First Church of Christ, Scientist, corner Norway and Falmouth Streets, yesterday, making the total membership of the church at present nearly fifteen thousand.

During the day there were four Communion services to accommodate the enormous number of people who desired to be present to hear the annual message from Mother Eddy, and the church was crowded at each service.
