WEDNESDAY EVENING MEETING, JUNE 7, 1899

From the July 1899 issue of The Christian Science Journal


From the Boston Herald,

The First Church of Christ, Scientist, commodious as it is, was not large enough to hold the thousands of visiting Christian Scientists who wished last night to attend the testimony meeting which is a weekly feature of the church work. The meeting was therefore held in Tremont Temple, and the large auditorium of that edifice was scarcely able to accommodate those who sought to enter. Every seat was occupied, and hundreds of persons stood in the aisles and corners.

Many remarkable instances of recovery from apparently hopeless illness through the instrumentality of Christian Science were related by persons in the congregation, and were listened to with almost breathless interest. But perhaps the most dramatic feature of the evening was an impromptu confession of faith by the congregation in the distinctive claims of Christian Science, and also in several of the fundamental principles which are held by other bodies of Christians. This occurred at the close of the testimonies.
