Scientists at Pleasant View

Editor

While there was no formal or public announcement of the fact, it was an open secret among the visiting Scientists during their recent gatherings in Boston, that the beautiful and spacious grounds of the Rev. Mary Baker Eddy, at Pleasant View, would be open to them. The result was that a majority of those from other places, at some time during their stay, availed themselves of the generous and loving act of their Leader and Mother, and passed a pleasant hour in looking over the grounds, and even being shown through her residence, at times when she was absent taking her customary daily ride.

Two or three times Mrs. Eddy appeared on her balcony and lovingly greeted her "children" in a short address.

Many hundreds of these children saw her for the first time, and the joy they experienced thereat is a sweet souvenir of their visit, which they alone can truly estimate. One of these children was a sweet and saintly lady whose mortal years number more than four score, who came from a western city more than twenty-five hundred miles distant, to be present at the Communion service, and see and hear "the dear Mother."
