Since our last issue this amiable friend has passed into other spheres of usefulness, leaving a widow and two children, who have been kindly aided by his comrades in the Christian Science Association of the Massachusetts Metaphysical College, of which Brother Linfield has been the secretary since December, 1885,—having joined the Association by signing the Constitution a year earlier, December 3, 1884.
The spring of 1886 he went as a delegate to the New York meeting, when the National Association was organized. At its first annual session, in Boston, in the spring of 1887, he was chosen secretary of this organization, and passed away with the harness on. Various notices concerning these associations, published in this journal, bore his familiar initial, L.
Ever since the organization of our Sunday-school in Boston he has been its secretary, and always sang in the choir at our church services in Chickering Hall.
Mr. Linfield was loved and respected for his courtesy, modesty, and careful attention to duty. His successor, as secretary of the College Association, is C. A. S. Troup.
