A Mistake

SEPTIMUS J. HANNA

We observe that a little story is going the rounds of the newspapers to the effect that I brought the testimony meeting held in Tremont Temple, Boston, June 6, to a sudden close because one of the speakers spoke of the healing of a person who had been pronounced dead by the physicians in attendance.

I suppose this item grew out of what one of the reporters of a Boston daily paper, who was present at the meeting, said in his report.

In reference to this I have only to say, the reporter's interpretation of my motive in closing the meeting was entirely original with him. Such a thought was not at all in my mind. It was my intention to close the meeting at nine o'clock under any circumstances, and this hour had arrived when I closed it. These meetings, when held in the Mother Church, are closed at 8.30.

SEPTIMUS J. HANNA.
