BOSTON, June 10.-One of the most
remarkable religious demonstrations
ever witnessed in New England oc-
Cured today when the new 1000, 900
Christian Scientist temple in the Back
Bay district was dedicated.
From evevry state in the Union and
from all parts of the world came peo-
pie to be at the dedicatory services. 1t
was, estimated that more than 10000
Christian Scientists were in the city
today.
Six services were held to accommo-
date the vast throngs, but even then
thousands were unable to gain ad-
mission to the temple. The seating
capacity of the new edifice exceeds
G000 and at each service today hundreds
stood in the aisles and in the rear of
the church.
The services today were identical and
each Service was about two hours in
length. The occasion combined both
the annual communion and the dedica-
tory exercises.
Thanks Mrs. Eddy for Address
AT the close of each service Edward
A. Kimball of Chicago presented a re-
ply of thanks to Mrs. Eddy for her
dedicatory address and for her general
work in behalf of the church. In her
address, referring especially to the
dedication of the new temple, Mrs.
Eddy wrote:
Beloved, I am not with you in pro-
pria persona at this memorable dedica-
-tion and communion season, but 1 am
with you in spirit and in truth, loving
ly thanking your generosity and fidel-
ity and saying virtually what the
prophets said:
F." L continue to choose whom we will
serve.
You have dexterously and wisely
provided for the mother church of
Christ, scientist, a magnificent temple
wherein to enter and pray.
Greatly impressed and encouraged
thereby, deeply do 1 thank you for
this proof of your progress, unity and
love.
