The universal sentiment seems to be that by far the most harmonious and helpful meetings which have taken place in Boston for many years, were those of the past few days. The Friday evening meeting (of the Friday before Communion Sunday) in the Mother Church, was the most largely attended we have ever had. A feeling of brotherly love and good fellowship was present, such as augurs well for the coming of that harmony in our ranks for which we are hoping and praying. The testimonials were most encouraging and helpful, and coming as they did from almost every part of the field, were unusually convincing and suggestive of the great healing work that is everywhere manifesting itself. At this meeting every seat in the auditorium was occupied, and some hundreds stood.
On Communion Sunday the large number of visiting Scientists, together with the local congregation, filled the church at each service, and all testified to the great beauty and uplifting character of our form of Communion service.
On the occasion of the annual church meeting also a spirit of kindness and good feeling was impressively noticeable, and we doubt not, a general renewedness of hope, courage, and activity will result from all these gatherings. Their influence will be felt and known by the absentees as well as those who were privileged to participate. We have every reason to thank God for His manifold expressions of loving kindness to us all.
