ANNUAL COMMUNION
Of the First Church of Christ, Boston,
Observed Sunday.

ibp7toIi, June Ill he ANNUAL COLI
munion of the First Church of Christ,
Scientist, was observed today. The
pla tform was draped with a large silk
American flag. The first reader. w. ID.
McCracken, explained to the congrega :
ton that the purpose was to honor
Flag day, which was also observed in
the branch churches. Mr.. McCracken
said in part:
CAS- Christian Scientists we do not
forget that it was under the protecting
fold of this flag that Christian Science
was born. The Stars and Stripes stand
for fair play and the rights of man.
Indeed the progress of humanity has
ever been accompanied by stars of
light and stripes of experience. We
therefore find distinct appropriation
and fitness in the celebration of Flag
day this year in connection with our
annual Communion service"
The principal feature of the service
was the reading by Judge Septimus j.
Hanna, Il former first reader of the
Mother church. of a letter greeting to
the Mary Baker Eddy. BY 4 rising vote
the congregation indicated its desire to
dispatch the letter to Mrs. Eddy. The
THE recent unprecedented expo
sures of graft and corruption, or of
"wickcdness in high places" plainly in
dictate an awakening of the public con-
scious to higher and better things, and
point to certainty of a final reign of
Righteousness.
We recognize that because of the
teaching and works of Christian
Science the people, in the churches and
out of them, are demanding the healing
gospel. Many within the churches are
awakening to their need in this re-
spect. They are realizing that such
healing is a right belonging to them as
church people; hence they are calling
upon their spiritual guides for explana-
lions as to why this part of the gospel
of Christ has been omitted.
1--WE desire here to record our grow
ing appreciation of your great work
for the betterment of human condi-
tons. and our ever deepening conf
dehce in the rodemptive outcome of
your cOnsecrated labor.
Your unyielding insistencc upon the
absoluteness of spirit and the conse-
quert nothinSness of so-called person
ality or matter has opened our eyes e
the fact that we, like Job. have been
honoring person and matter as our
God.
In the light of recent events we have
read with increased understanding
these words from the Sermon on the
Mount:
BLESSED are we when men shall re-
vile you, and prosecute you, and shall
say all manner of evil against you
falsely for my sake
"Reiocn and be exceedingly glad; for
so prosecuted they the prophets which
We're before YOU"
eve desire to express our deep sense
of JOY that you are now in occupancy
of home at once adequate to the
needs of your work. We appreciate the
greater convenience to your country
workers, and to the field resulting
therefrom. We know that it was not in
personal convience that controlled you
in making the change, but the urgent
demand of your increasing labors.''
