Buffalo, N. Y., Times

Boston, June 6.—Among the many very prominent people in this city attending the Christian Science convention are Countess Dunmore of London, Eng.; Lady Mildred Murray, her daughter, also of London, and her son, Viscount Fincastle, who is in the British Army in India, and came to Boston for the sole purpose of attending the Communion services and the Annual Meeting of the church Tuesday.

There is an interesting story connected with the conversion of Countess Dunmore and her family to the Christian Science faith. Four years ago the husband and father of the family, ranking among the higher of England's nobility, was converted to faith in Christian Science by the extraordinary relief it is claimed he experienced from the effects of an injury he had incurred while serving her Majesty Queen Victoria in India. The injury was such that it was declared he could never again participate in his favorite pastimes of the hunt and steeplechase, nor discharge the duties of a mounted army officer.

Physician specialists aided him not and agreed with all other medical attendants that his lordship would never recover from this disability. But to-day he is well and hearty, a most enthusiastic rider, and incidentally he has become a Christian Scientist; in fact, devoting all his time and much of his influence and money to the advancement of the church's principles.
