First Church of Christ, Scientist, Concord, N. H.
My Beloved Brethren:—In the annals of our denomination this church becomes historic, having completed its organization February 22—Washington's birthday. Memorable date, all unthought of till the day had passed! Then we beheld the omen—Religious Liberty—the Father of the universe, and the father of our nation in concurrence.
To-day, with the large membership of seventy-four communicants, you have met to praise God. I, as usual, at home and alone, am with you in spirit, joining in your rejoicing; and my heart is asking, What are the angels saying or singing of this dear little flock, and what is each heart in this house repeating, and what is being recorded of this meeting as with the pen of an angel?
