Tribute Of Silence.

Tribute OF Silence.
Only those who sat through the
service with the knowledge Of the mo-
mentous event of q few hours before
heard the benediction. Then the great
er part Of the congregation left their
seats In silence. There were no words
Of sorrow, although many tear was
shed. The strains of the Recessional
on the great organ were a. Joyous as
ever.
As the church goers scattered after
the services. the question Of future
leadership was referred to with great
reserve by the leaders and others.
Those who expressed view said that
there would be no change In the meth
DDS Of carrying on the work. that Mrs.
Eddy's teachings and instruction
would be explicitly followed and the
church that she founded would con-
tinue to grow In the future as it had
In the past. It was pointed out that
with the exception Of few routine
matters the actual direction Of the
church work was relinquished to q
great degree by Mrs. Eddy some years
previous to her death, although she
continued to keep In close touch with
those to whom she had entrusted the
work and had a clear understanding
of how 1t was being performed.
The notice read at the morning
service of the mother church was re-
peated at the evening service to- an
unusually large congregation.
