Tributes to Christian Science

Boston Journal

Brief Extract from the Boston Journal, June 8.

The weekly meeting of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Boston, was held in Tremont Temple last night, in order to accommodate more fully than could be done at the church edifice the large number of visiting Scientists from all parts of the country.

Judge S. J. Hanna, the First Reader, presided, and as he looked out over the hall he saw an audience which filled the place entirely from floor to upper gallery, between twenty-five hundred and three thousand being present. There were some thirty or forty speakers, representing all parts of the United States, and some forty-three testimonies of healing, about a third being of organic diseases.

Among the testimonies was one of healing from nervous prostration, one from consumption, one from cancer, meningitis, paralysis, dyspepsia, typhoid fever, scarlet fever, and numerous other diseases, while two or three testified that they had been saved from the operating table by this agency.
