Mr. Editor:

Yesterday, for the first time, the Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy visited the new Christian Science church in this city, her munificent gift to the local congregation of that faith.

Mrs. Eddy entered the church by the southeast door, which admitted her to the room prepared for her use in the edifice, which the Scientists call "Our Leader's room," and those who planned this pretty apartment should know the pleasure it gave her. Her artistic sense took in at a glance the beautiful circles of light falling in pendants like grape clusters, the delicate pale green upholstery, embroidered silk drapery, the highly polished Indiana oak floor, and the lighting, done by means of numerous incandescent bulbs deftly hidden in the corniced moulding of the room; also the beautiful bound copies of the Bible and of her own published works, and other dainty, costly gifts from members of her church.
