An Easter Gift

Mary Baker G. Eddy

A letter in this article was later republished in The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany: My. 164:6-165:10

The munificent contribution from the six Christian Science churches in Chicago reached Mrs. Eddy at Easter; it may or it may not have been planned, but it was a most happy way of expressing love. The number of people represented in the gift is, in round numbers, forty-five hundred; but the great charm of the incident is that they were all of one mind, all the Christian Scientists of the city of Chicago joining in the demonstration. The following excerpts from the letter which accompanied the gift express the gratitude of those into whose lives Christian Science has brought health, holiness, and gladness:—

"Christian Scientists of Chicago, members of the several churches of Christ, Scientist, and their congregations, unite in tendering to you the gift of ten thousand dollars for the furnishing of seats in the auditorium of the new church edifice of First Church of Christ, Scientist, of your home city, Concord, New Hampshire.

"The opportunity for making this offering has been welcomed by our people with joyful acclamation, and they ask that you will accept this present as a token of grateful appreciation of the benefits of Christian Science and of deep, tender, and lasting reverence and affection for you, the Discoverer and Founder.
