This movement has large fOllowin,
in Germany, and, as elsewhere, is grow

Frau Peterson for help was the nephew
Of the famous Count Won Moltke, tn,
great field marshal of the German EN-
pire. Herr Won Moltke was completely
healed Of long standing ailments, foI
which he had in vain sought far and
wide for relief His restoration TO health
was so remarkable that il attracted
widespread interest in the court circles
Of the empire; and among others who
became interested is the sister Of En-.

worthiness OF the Christly religion which
had healed him, identified himself with
the movement, aud, being a talented
musician of exceptional ability, gladly
gave his services as soloist for the relig-
ious services of the First Church Of
Christ, Scientist, Hanover.
Among others to receive physical and
spiritual help in Hanover from this
healing religion is distinguished doc

things than have ever done" A cler-
gyman was healed OF many ailments
after an unprejudiced and intelligent
study Of Science and Health, and is

trions, in healing the sick and restor-
ing the sinful in the light Of Christian
Science. After being convinced from
a thorough investigation Of the Christ
spirit made manifest in its followers,
he declared that he must put in practice
its divine principle.
The studious habits, the profound
scholarship, the kindly nature, and
the simple faith OF the German people,
make easy the acceptance OF the Christ
science which Mrs. Eddy has named
Christian Science.
In the past, only the state church OF
Germany has had Il charter from the
government. On application, howeve,
from the Christian Scients, an exception
was made in their favor. Apart from
the state church this is the only de-
nomination which has ever been granted
charter by the Empire.
Cases Of healing have occurred 80 fre-
quently at the meetings Of this Hanover
church that now people attend their
services for that purpose. and their
simple faith Is thus manifested.
The gratitude Of the German people
for benefits received and their profound
reverence aud esteem for the founder
and discoverer OF Christian Science IL
especially marked and notable. This
gratitude found expression in the pre-
sentation Of the gift for which Frau Pc
terson visited Concord.
This copy Of the Holy Scriptures,
which is rare specimen of the printers
and bookbinder's art, is substantially
hound in leather, with rich silver trim
mings and clasp, upon the latter of
which is engraved the name of Mrs.
Eddy.
From the title page one learns that
the sacred work is translation OF the
Holy Scriptures according 10 Martin
Luther, and contains 30 fine engravings
upon Old Testament subjects by the
great masters, and Is rare engravings on
the life OF Jesus by the world-iamous
artist, Heinrich Holman.
A handsome illuminated page has
been inserted, which, in beautiful Ger
man test reads as follows: "The mem
bers OF First Church of Christ, Scientist,
in Hanover, Germany, in profound es-
TEEN, present this volume to their be-
loved teacher and leader" Then fol-
low the names Of the donors.
In connection with this expression OF
love and gratitude for the physical and
spiritual healing that has come TO these
reverent people through Mrs. Eddy is an
interesting incident, One OF the early
students OF Mrs. Eddy was German,
and TO him Mrs. Eddy said: Ger
many will be the first European nation
20 accept Christian Science. Their love
of God, their profound religious char
acter, their deep faith and strong intel
lectual qualities, make them particularly
receptive TO Christian Science In
the presence of this priced gift, il is seen
that this prophecy is being fulfilled.
