night, when Mr. Edward A. Kimball,
C. s. D., member of the Christian
Science Board of Lectureship, Boston.
U. S. A., attended for the purpose of
giving lecture on christian Sci
ence."
A boisterous crowd assembled out
side the hall during the lecture. and a
force of police kept them at a respect
able distance from the building for a
time, but afterwards several attempts
were made to rush the doors. Pande-
monium prevailed outside the building.
Drums were beaten, rusty tins were
banged against the walls, toy trumpets
were played. and above all there was a
terrible caterwauling. Then the crowd
scattered to some extent, and the
stone-t throwing became general at all
the windows, whereas. it had previ-
ously been confined to those at the
platform end. Ultimately the crowd
abandoned their more violent proceed
ings, and Mr.. Kimball was able to
conclude his lecture in comparative
peace.
