"Old Home Week" at Bow, N. H.

Last week was "Old Home Week" in New Hampshire, and this very pleasant custom, which originated in the Granite State, was very generally observed.

Among the many observances, none were of more interest to Christian Scientists than those of the town of Bow, the birthplace of our revered Leader. The president of the day was Mrs. Eddy's cousin, the Hon. Henry M. Baker, one of New Hampshire's foremost citizens, who won an enviable reputation in Congress as representative from the Granite State. The orator of the day was the Hon. Sherman E. Burroughs, also of Mrs. Eddy's family. Of his able historical address the Concord Monitor says, "His paper was a valuable contribution to historical literature."

The following excerpts are from the Concord Daily Patriot's account of this interesting occasion.
