The Easter services of the Boston Church of Christ (Scientist), at Chickering Hall, commenced at 2 p. m. with the Sunday-school exercises. These were directed by Dr. Foster Eddy and were attended by a full house, and were a marked success in every respect. It is rare to find the performance of so many children marked by such uniform excellence of elocution, due in this case to their careful training by Mrs. Capt. Eastaman.
The floral decorations were profuse and tasteful. At 3 p. m. Rev. Mary B. G. Eddy, the pastor, came on the platform with Rev. D. A. Easton who was announced to preach the sermon. The pastor introduced Mr. Easton as follows:
"Friends, the homesick traveller in foreign lands greets with joy a familiar face. I am homesick for God. I have met one in my long journeyings who comes from the place of my own sojourning for many years, the Congregational Church. He is a graduate of Bowdoin College and of Andover Theological School. He has left his old church as I did, from a yearning of his heart, because he was not satisfied with a man-like God, but wanted a God-like man. He found the new wine could not be put in old bottles without spilling—hence he came to us."
