A LETTER FROM LONDON

E. Blanche Ward, Ward Coldridge

[The following letter to Mrs. Eddy from one of the churches in London shows that the Christian Science movement is growing with great rapidity in conservative England. The writer of this letter estimates the number who heard Mr. Young's lecture at eight thousand, but we are informed that the actual attendance was ninety-nine hundred. When this great audience is contrasted with the few who attended the first public meeting of Christian Scientists in the same city eleven years ago, it will be realized that only through tangible evidence of the truth of Christian Science could this great advance have been made. The sick have been healed and the sinful have been reformed through Mrs. Eddy's teachings, and these works are being appreciated.—Editor.]

London W., April 27, 1907.

Beloved Leader:—It is our pleasure to report to you that the success of our annual lecture, delivered by Mr. Bicknell Young on the 23d of April, was phenomenal. The lecturer was introduced by Lord Dunmore to an assembly of nearly eight thousand people. The audience followed with close and respectful attention whilst the lecturer told of the revelation which has come to humanity through your teaching. The lecturer's perception of the needs of this audience was to us particularly impressive and the comments of members of the public and the interest already awakened point unmistakably to good results.
