A friend in Philadelphia sends to Rev. Mrs. Eddy a photograph, with this question: How account for this occurrence?
The picture represents the Crucifixion of Jesus, in wax, with several figures grouped about the central image of the Redeemer. The statuary was in the Egyptian Museum in Philadelphia, which three months ago was burned. Everything was destroyed except these wax figures, and the niche in which they stood. Mrs. Eleanor C. Donnelly wrote a poem on the event, in which are these lines:
While death and ruin, wreck and loss.
Wrought In those walls a fiery hell,
And metals melted, timbers fell,
Alone within its alcove, pure,
Christ's image stood, unmarred, secure.
