TEMPLE DEDICATION
Annual Meeting OF Christian
Scientists in Boston

Tie meeting of Christian Scien-
lists this year was of more than
usual interest as it was the occasion
of the dedication of their new tenn
ple. which was opened free of debt;
its cost of 1000, 600 having been
met beforehand by the Scientists.
The following Dedicatory message
was read from their leader, Mrs.
Mary Baker q. Eddy:
My beloved brethren:-
"Divine might Of truth demands

truth, and this not alone in accord
with human desire but with spiritual
power. st. John writes: Blessed

that they may have right to the tree

christian Science is not dweller
apart in royal solitude; it is not a
law of matter nor a transcendental-
ism that heals only the sick. This
Science is law of divine Mind, a
persuasive animus, an unerring I'M
petus, an ever-present help. Its
presence is felt, for it acts, and acts
wisely, always unfolding the high
way of hope, faith, understanding.
1t is the higher criticism, the higher
hope; and its effect ON man is mainly
this-that what one KNOWS of him,

will be found that, instead of oppos-

interests of both medical faculty and

the iron in human nature rusts

wherein man Is supposed to start
from dust and woman to be the out

the offsprings of sense the murderers

Wholly apart from this mortal
dream, this illusion and delusion of
sense, Christian Science comes to re-
