MIDSUMMER SERVICE

From the August 1888 issue of The Christian Science Journal


On Sunday, July 15, Rev. Mary B. G. Eddy occupied the pulpit of the Church of Christ, Boston. Never did she appear better, or seem in better voice. The hall was filled, notwithstanding the oppressive heat. Not a sound was heard save the heavenly utterances of the inspired speaker. It was a message from God to His human children, calling and beckoning them to higher life, nobler aims, truer Christianity.

The speaker's subject was, Our Ideals. The text was Luke xii. 32: "Fear not little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." It is useless to attempt any comment on this sermon, as it would be almost impossible to do justice to the speaker. It is enough to say Mrs. Eddy held the audience spellbound. No such words have ever flowed from her lips before. It is hoped that in the September number of the Journal our Pastor will express her thoughts again, for the benefit of those who did not hear this edifying discourse.
