More than thirty thousand Christian Scientists from all...

with contributions from The Chatterer

More than thirty thousand Christian Scientists from all over the country were in Boston Sunday when the new two-million-dollar temple was dedicated with impressive ceremonies. The seating capacity of the new temple exceeds five thousand, but there were thousands who were unable to gain admission to the building at each of the six meetings held. The dedication of this magnificent new building marks another era in the very remarkable growth of this new religious sect, which has outlived ridicule and won its way into the respect of the world.

Disciples of Æsculapius who went to hear and scoff at the miracle tales in the Christian Science temple the other evening, came away having "nothing to say." They simply could not give voice to the impression that was made upon them. And this is what conventions are for. They are tidal waves of faith and opinion, of experiences for the whole civilized world. They make humanity think.

Whatever may be thought of Christian Science, the Scientists are entitled to the credit of believing it with all their hearts, and of having enough faith in their faith so that they are not ashamed of it. If those who hold other beliefs were as earnest and as devoted as the Scientists are, why might they not make a similar progress?
