Three Thousand Cured

Boston Globe

Brief Extract from the Boston Globe, June 8.

The "testimony meeting" of the Christian Scientists, held in Tremont Temple last evening, proved quite a prodigious affair to those who took part in it, despite the modest characterization, as the regular Wednesday evening meeting of The First Church of Christ, Scientist.

The whole edifice was decorated from top to bottom with fresh, bright-colored bunting, flags, and streamers in a way that showed not only a liberal disposition as regards quantity, but really superior artistic taste also; and with such a gay background the audience made perhaps the most brilliant picture that has ever been seen in the new temple.

There were surely three thousand people present, for besides all the seats every foot of standing room, even where not a glimpse of the stage could be had, was occupied. It was a splendid looking audience. The first part of the meeting was much like any ordinary week night church gathering—Scripture reading, prayer, and congregational singing.

Then followed a good account of the meeting.
