Interesting and uplifting communion services were held on last Communion Day, Sunday, October 7th, at Copley Hall. The large hall was filled to its utmost seating capacity, it being roughly estimated that there were one thousand persons present.
Services were opened by reading and singing hymn 119 of the Christian Science Hymnal, "On the night of that last supper," which was followed by reading Luke 22:1-20, and selections from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by the Rev. Mary B. G. Eddy, from pages 336, first and second paragraphs, 340, third paragraph, 347, first paragraph, and 360, second paragraph. This was followed with silent prayer and the audible repetition of the Lord's Prayer with the spiritual interpretation repeated alternately by pastor and congregation. The pastor then read, and choir and congregation sang, hymn 178, written by Mrs. Eddy, "Saw ye my Saviour? Heard ye the glad sound?" The collection was then taken, during which the choir sang as an offertory, hymn 163, O'er waiting harpstrings of the mind."
Mr. Wm. B. Johnson, clerk of the church then read the names of those who had made application for membership and been passed upon by the committee, numbering two hundred and seventy-eight.
