The meeting of the alumni of the Massachusetts Metaphysical College, on February third, opened with a crowded audience-room. The reading from Scripture and Science and Health was followed by silent prayer, ending with the Lord's Prayer repeated in unison. After graceful recognition of the power of harmonious thought here present, to place at ease one who elsewhere found it difficult to preside, further personal remark by the chairman was reserved until later, at which time he promised to dwell somewhat upon a subject which, though near to the heart of all present, seemed in every way a fit closing theme. The opening hour was, therefore, placed at the disposal of workers in the field generally.
Evidence of fuller attendance than that cognizable by mortal sense was found in messages received by wire, post, and personal conveyance.
The opening speaker substantially called attention to the fact that human will is not of God, and, therefore, not to be used by a Christian Scientist. Divine Love is the only power; and to truly know this, is to do away with apparent difficulty in healing. After uncovering the error of mortal mind "extremes," and pointing to wisdom to guide unerringly and continuously to the "golden mean," the speaker closed with the declaration that "no greater work now is to he done than to place Science and Health in the hands of every man, woman, and child, Truth being its own Interpreter."
