Concord, N. H., Jan. 4, 1889.
On last Saturday evening a special meeting of the "Daughters of Rebekah"—which organization has a membership of four hundred in this city—was convened, to take such measures as might be necessary to send Mrs. Shepard to the Boston General Hospital, as it was expected she must have a limb amputated. One of the ladies, who is a member of the order, and who had been greatly benefited by Christian Science treatment, called on Mrs. Shepard on Sunday afternoon, and conversed with her concerning trying it. Mrs. Shepard had never heard of it before, but readily consented to make the trial. A Scientist visited her Sunday evening for the first time. Yesterday Mrs. Shepard walked down two flights of stairs and out into the street, and to-day I met her at the Scientist's room, where she had walked for treatment. What a grand victory for Truth!
It seems as though such a grand demonstration must attract the attention of the people.
