A MISSIONARY ADDRESS.
DR.. Mary Pierson Eddy Talks at
Church Of the Covenant,

NuuTCQ OF the COVeuAuC,
An address was delivered yesterday after
noon at the Church of the Covenant by DR..
Mary Pierson Eddy, who is in this country
on a vacation from her missionary work in
Syria. She spoke of the work that had
been accomplished in that field since she
visited Washington last and of what she
hored to do on returning. She said the
hospital in Syria of which she has charge
and which has but thirteen rooms has ac-
commodated 10000 patients since her last
visit here
She spoke also of the establishment of an
industrial school, the only one of Its kind
in the country, accommodating 200 pupils,
and of the largest medical institution out
side of the United States, with 100 students
Her work, she said, lay in the region
along the sea coast, between the cities OF
Beirut and Tripoli, whose beauty she COM
pared with that Ct the northern coast Of
Italy. She said at first the natives re-
sented the intrusion of American physicians
and their attitude toward Christianity was
adverse, but since then they have become
more kindly disposed, coming in large
numbers to be treated for the many dis
eases prevalent among them.
Referring to the literature used In the
educational work, DR.. Eddy said 6O,OoO,OO0,-
600 pages had been circulated, and so
great was the demand for Bibles that the
missionaries were two years behind in sup
plying them.
DR.. Eddy at the conclusion of her ad-
dress thanked the members of the Church
of the Covenant for the courtesy they had
shown her and for their hearty and lib
eral support of her work, and also for the
many books, magazines, papers and letters
which they had from time to time sent
her.
missionary work was taken up at the close
of the meeting.
