The Church in Concord

The Daily Patriot

Washington's birthday marks the sixth anniversary of the organization of First Church of Christ, Scientist of this city. The first anniversary of this important event in the beautiful new church edifice, a gift from the Reverend Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, to the Concord church, was of more than usual interest.

There was a large number present, and after the regular service, many visitors accepted the invitation to see the room which has been set aside for Mrs. Eddy's use, and which is open to visitors at the close of the Wednesday night meeting.

In opening the meeting, the First Reader, Rev. Irving C. Tomlinson, C.S.B., briefly referred to the interesting event in the history of the organization of the church, and in fitting terms voiced the gratitude of the members to their revered Leader, Mrs. Eddy, for her munificent gift of the handsome granite church edifice.
