COMMUNION SERVICE

From the February 1896 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The hearts of the congregation of the Mother Church on last communion day were again made glad by the presence of our beloved Teacher and Leader, the Reverend Mary Baker Eddy. The occasion was so fully described in the Boston Sunday Herald that we feel a publication of that article will give the field a correct sense of it, and therefore refrain from further comment. We rejoice that we are permitted to publish in full the Mother's Address. It were vain for us to undertake to comment upon it. Suffice it to say that the impression it made upon the hearts of all sincere listeners was deep, profound, and lasting. Following is the report from the Boston Herald:

REV. MARY BAKER EDDY'S SECOND APPERANCE IN FIRST CHURCH (SCIENTIST), THIS CITY.

Rev. Mary Baker Eddy, pastor emeritus of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in this city, made her second appearance in her church since its completion last Sabbath morning. Her arrival was not generally known, and to many it was a surprise Her desire is to come and go quietly, in order to prevent the parade which her students, in the superabundance of their affection for her, are wont to make whenever her coming is known. A few students met her last Sunday at the depot with carriages.
