At a special meeting of the Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass., held January 31, 1901, this letter from our Pastor Emeritus, the Reverend Mary Baker G. Eddy, Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, was read, and the following resolutions unanimously adopted as fully expressing the sentiment of the entire church of nearly twenty thousand members.
Pleasant View, Concord, N. H., January 27, 1901.
Mr. Benjamin Johnson, C.S.B., Clerk.
Beloved Student:—I deem it proper that the Mother Church in Boston, Massachusetts, the first church of Christian Science known on earth, should, upon this solemn occasion congregate. That a special meeting of its First Members convene for the sacred purpose of expressing our deep sympathy with the bereaved nation, its loss and the world's loss, in the sudden departure of the late lamented Victoria, Queen of Great Britain, and Empress of India,—long honored, revered, beloved. "God save the Queen" is heard no more in England, but this shout of love lives on in the hearts of millions.
