What
a fine record the Boston Herald has given us of the Communion Service
and Dedication of the Extension of The Mother Church – so gentle and kind and
appreciative.
Imagine the Readers and soloist holding six services in the one
day, beginning at 7.30 a.m.!
The
record states that all the services were exactly the same, but, as a First
Reader, I feel that each one had its special-ness according to the spiritual
impetus of the members of the congregation. I notice that the silent
prayer towards the end of the service was of five minutes
duration. A long time to be kneeling! A good opportunity to
hone humility skills.
Having
so recently becoming acquainted with a bound copy of the first volume of The Christian Science Journal, I
marvel at the progress the church had made in the twenty years that had
intervened. Christian Science had matured.
