The regular monthly meeting was held in the chapel of Tremont Temple, May 2, with the president, Rev. Mrs. Eddy, in the chair. There were fifty-six members present, and the customary exercises were observed.
After reading the record of the April meeting, a portion of the time was consumed in remarks about our lamented and departed brother and secretary, John A. Linfield, and what action should be taken in aid of his family. The Association voted one-hundred dollars for their benefit, and a subscription list was then and there started, with five dollars by Brother Eastaman, followed by fifty dollars from Mrs. Eddy.
The president spoke of the necessity of, as well as the pleasure to be derived from, attending the annual convention of the Christian Scientist Association, to be held in Chicago in June. The office of secretary being now vacant, it was necessary to elect another, and C. A. S. Troup was elected. The president occupied the remainder of the time in her usual clear, forcible, and instructive manner, and her remarks, as usual, were full of points of interest.
