From Leslie's Weekly

Editor

Leslie's Weekly of August 3, 1901, contains a well-executed photographic picture of the house and grounds of Mrs. Eddy, taken the day of the recent visit of Scientists to Pleasant View, which picture is accompanied by the following article:—

How little the batteries of criticism which have directed their fire with unusual vigor on the Christian Scientists and their form of belief during the past year have done to shake the faith of the members of that sect in their venerable Founder and Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, may be judged by the interest and enthusiasm shown on the occasion of a recent visit of a host of Christian Scientists to the home of Mrs. Eddy, at Pleasant View, Concord, N. H. The annual Communion of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, held in June, called together upwards of eight thousand communicants from all parts of the world, and an opportunity was improved to make a pilgrimage to the Founder of the sect. The visitors, of whom there were two thousand five hundred, were conveyed to Concord by three special trains, and were well repaid by not only seeing Mrs. Eddy, but were still more favored by hearing her address the vast throng. Our photograph was taken immediately after Mrs. Eddy had left the house for her accustomed afternoon drive.
