The dedication ' tomorrow of a magnificent new addition ! to the mother church of the Christian ' Science dr-nomlratlon In Ronton Is .n ! event of the highest significance In the I history of this religious body. The In- terest of all Christian Scientists la. een ' tered on Boston and thousands from all ' parts of the world are thronging; the his toric old city. The regular communion of the Christian Science church always brings a multitude of Its adherents to Bos. ton. but the dedication of the new struc ture this year has made tha attendance unusually large. The church Is one of the largest If not the largest In the United States, Its seat ing capacity being 6.012. Its style of architecture Is Italian Renaissance. The pews and other Interior wood work finish ings are of matirgnny. The walls are Con cord granite and Bedford stone', with beau tiful decorative carving. The Inside finish Is a soft gray to harmonize with the tled eford stone .columns supporting the dome. The height' of the building to the top of the lantern. Is 224 feet, Just ono foot hlffher than Bunker Hill monument. The dome Is 82 feet In diameter and Is covered with terra cotta to match the Bedford stone. The building presents a stately, dignified ' and Impressive appearance, and It la al ready recognized as one of the 'land marks of Boston. The first floor contains the various offi ces, .a large foyer, Sunday school room, cloak rooms, etc. There are twelve exits and seven staircases. The cost of the building Is something less than I2,0n0n0. The new chimes consist of eleven bells, made by the Meneely Bell company of Troy, N. T. .The largest boll, which Is e sharp, weighs 40.000 pounds. The small est bell weigh 400 pounds. The organ Is necessarily one of the largest In the world. It Is strictly up-to-date and contains all modern appliances. Discovery of Christian Science. Christian Science waa discovered by Rev. Mary Baker O. Eddy In 18o6. Referring thereto in her bcok entitled "Retrospection . and Introspection," she declares: "During twenty yean prior to my discovery I had been trying to trace all physical effects to a mental cause; and In the latter part of 1868 I gained the scientific certainty that all causation was Mind, and every effect a mental phenomenon." It should t be noted that in this statement Mrs. taay 'v capitalizes the word Mind, thus making It synonymous with Deity, and thus designating tha divine Mind as the only cause or creator. It follows. In her philoso phy, that the universe is In reality spirit tial, though It does not ao appear to our present immature apprehension. Christian Science thus bases Its entire modus oper andi upon the proposition that Clod is the fyly real Mind. In Christian Science it is Oalntalned that through the realisation vf the supremacy of the divine Mind heal- lng is effected, even as light dispels the darkness, on the basis that light la real while darkness is unreal, and therefore cannot remain in its presence. Thus it is that In Christian Science healing there Is " aft no pretense of human force, but rather I yielding of human will to the divine. History declares that from early child' hood Mrs. Eddy had been spiritually In clined and that even in her youthful days she was Interested In deep religious sub Jects and philosophic study. One who knew her well in her girlhood has referred to her 'gift of expression as very marked and that she often conversed with her pas tor upon subjects which were too deep for him to follow. Her superior ability, her breadth and Independence of thought and her spiritual mlndedness were all prophetic of that eminence as a teacher, an organ iser and a leader to which she has at tained, and to those who have followed the course ot events in the advance of the Christian Science movement Mrs. Eddy far-seeing wisdom, Initiative Insight and executive ability have become more and more impressive. Remarkable Growth. The original "mother church," which ad .Join the new building, seats about 1,200, and yet three Sunday services are re quired to accommodate the attendance. It la said that when this edifice was planned some of the members were disturbed on account of ita size. They thought that the provision of so large an auditorium waa entirely uncalled for, the attendance at that time being only about 650. . The first church organization of Chris tlan Scientists waa formed in Bpston in 1871 with twenty-six members. So slow waa the growth of the movement at first that In. 1889, ten years later, there were only eleven churches. From that time, liowiver, the growth was more rapid. In 18W there were 101 churches.

In 1&9 there were only 4T.0 member in the entire connection. Ia 1894 the total membership was Five years later it had t cached 18,134. These figures show that the principal growth has taken place dur ing the lant seven year. The membership at the present time is about 72,000, but that there are multitudes Interested In the move ment outside of the actual church mem bership is evidenced by the large attend ance at the Christian Science services and the fact that nearly 400,000 copies of the Christian Science text book' are at present in circulation. . The dedicatory exercises tomorrow will be attended by visitors from all parts of the United States and Canada, from Great Britain, Australia, Sweden, Denmark, France, Germany, Switzerland, the Ha waiian Islands, South America and other foreign countries. It Is said that they wilt not come simply to see the church edifice or for the exclusive purpose of being pres ent at the dedicatory service, but largely to show their Interest In the movement. their respect for its leader and to further their understanding of Christian Science. Horticultural hall on Massachusetts and Huntington avenues has been secured as headquarters and at this place are to be found the various committees of arrange ment. Here visiting Scientists will be di rected to hotels and boarding houses where they will be provided for.- Elaborate ar rangements have been made for the con venience of visitors. Description of Chirrh Services. The Sunday service of the Christian Sci ence church consists of opening and closing exerctaes similar to those of other denomi nations, the distinguishing feature being the lesson sermon which Mrs. Eddy has in tituled In the place of the clerical address. The lesson sermon is a compilation of scrip tural passages interspersed with correlative selections from the Christian Science text, book, "Science and Health, With Key to th Scriptures." by Mrs. Eddy. Tomorrow is the date of the annual com munion service and In addition to the usual service and the dedicatory address there will be added the characteristic communion f the Christian Scientists, which consists of a silent service during which the entire congregation kneels in self-examination and communion with God. This part of the service closes with the repetition of the Lord's prayer in unison. An interesting and distinctive service In the Christian Science church is the Wednes day evening meeting, which is devoted ex clusively to testimonies and experiences de scriptive of the benefits received from Christian' Science. These meetings at the Mother church of the denomination in Bos ton are said to be, as a rule, of more than average interest because Boston, being the headquarters of the denomination, is fre quently visited by Christian Scientists from all parts of the United States, Canada and other countries. One hundred and forty-five church edifices have already been erected by the Christian Scientists. These, as a whole, .compare favorably with those of the older' denomi nations. It is said that when funds are no longer needed for the completion of the Mother church a large number of building will be commenced In different parts of the country. Christian Science Practice. Having noted the criticism that Christian Science Is a menace to public health be cause of the attitude of Its practitioner in regard to the quarantine and treatment of contagious cases and it attempt to care for children, pain have been taken to In vestigate the conduct of Christian Scientists with regard to these matters. It ha been found that the children of Christian Scien tist parents are, to say the least, quite a strong and healthy a those of other people. They are less subject to disease, they have less fear and manifest a high degree of happiness and contentment. On the sub ject of contagion an authority writes: 'Practitioner of Christian Science are usually careful in the observance of quar antine, for they are anxious to avoid the risk and extra labor which is incurred by allowing their patients to mingle with the public. The Christian Scientist Is aware that so long as the law of contagion exists it cannot be ignored, but must be wisely dealt with. When necessary the Christian Scientist follows the same course which Is followed by those who believe In medicine. namely, he calls an experienced medical diagnostician to examine the case, and if he finds it to be a contagious disease, ho is counseled by Mrs. Eddy not to assume charge of it. It is affirmed that Christian Scientists are less liable to contagious dis ease than, they were before they became Christian Scientists, and that they manage contagious cases ao auccessfully that they have contributed largely toward minimizing the fear of contagion and thus toward the abolition of epidemics." Whenever this question of contagion comes up, Christian Scientist refer to the following unequivocal statement by Mr. Eddy: "On the subject of reporting contagion I have thl to ay: 'I have always believed that Christian Scientists should be law abiding, and, actuated by thl conviction, i autnorue the following statement: 'Rather than quarrel over vaccination. I recommend that if the law demand an individual to submit to thl croces. ha obey the law; and then appeal to the gospel io sava ram irom any baff results. What ever change belong to thl century, or any epocn, we may aarely submit to the Drovt. dence of Qod, to common Justice, Individual rignt and governmental usages.' "Thl statement should be so Interpreted a to apply, on th basis of Christian Sci ence, to the reporting of contagion to the proper autnorltle when the law so requires. When Jesus waa questioned about obeying th human law He declared: 'Render unto Caesar th things that are Caesar's even while you 'render unto Qod the things that are God'.' " Attltad Toward.

In keeping with this thought Mr. Eddy issued this statement which appeared in the Christian Science Sentinel of April 28, 1906: "To the Beloved Members of My Church, the Mother Church, the First Church of Christ, Scientist. In Boston: Divine love bids me say: Assemble not at th resi dence of your pastor emeritus at or about the time of our annual meeting and com munion service, for the divine and not the human should engage our attention at this sacred season of prayer and praise." A casual observer cannot fall to recog nise that to the skill of Mrs. Eddy a an organiser and to her genius a a religious leader Is due the present impetus of the Christian Science movement, and the com pletion of the splendid edifice dedicated In Boston tomorrow may be counted among her 4 most brilliant achievements, for the funds which were thus expended have been given a an expression of appreciation and love for her no less than In recognition of th needs of this great movement, the credit for the initiation and successful guidance of which is due this remarkable woman.

Rheem' recol lection of Omaha telegrapher wno nour ished at the key thirty year or more ago In part he say: "John McNevtn of the Omaha office was an extraordinarily fine operator and a very rapid sender. I recall a uperb piece of work performed by him and Cha'.cs W. Hammond at St. Louis one Sunday night after a three days' Interruption of our Chi Lcago wire. we were siacsra up, r . . . , . .. ajnntia-h: about B in me eveniuK J numx Ottawa call us; on answering he said 'Here's St. Louis.' Hammond had patched up a wire somehow and in his usual ac commodating way asked us If wn had any business. ' We told him we had. On his telling us to let It come. I started In to send to him. As my particular specialty waa sending a little slower than the slowest man that ever lived. I don't suppose I would have ever reached the bottom of the' pile. McNevln came in and offered to re lieve me, which he did, cieanns tne pn In a very short time. Hammond's receiv ing was Just like everything else he ever did that Is, fine as tlrk. All that he sa d besides saying 'yes' In answer to quuallon 'u tr?" was 'O. K., O. N.' at the end of the performance. "Besides being a fine operator and a beautiful penman, John Morris was an e Dert clog and buck and wing dancer; he used to help keep things lively for us by his exhibition of this accomplishment. "Charles Paxton was a quiet, hard work ing operator with the same vein of humor In his makeup that seems to have been so evenly distributed by nature among all th old-timer to whom h belenced. Wll will be remembered by many of the old Chicago boy. Men Wno "Moved Ob." "Everybody knew Bogardus; and in spite of his falling, or rather outside of it. there never was a cleaner, more honorable gen tleman known in the profession. The same will apply to Schermerhorn, from whom I parted with sincere regret when the time came for him to 'move on.' Honey, who died a few year ago In Chicago, went west from Omaha and later was connected with the Northern Paclflo railway. With the rapid development of the northwest he became Identified with large Interests and at on timi waa accounted to be a wealthy man. "I shall always remember John Hanchett with peculiar affection. He waa a humor. 1st par excellence: the log book' kept by him at night while he occupied the posi tion of'ntght manager would havo been a paying proposition to any one who pub lished It. It was completely filled with absolute gems, the most of which related to the business of the office. Whatever Induced me to let that log book go, with other property, to the Western Union Is more than I can now tell. John waa sent to Omaha, a night manager, by Mr. E. D. U. Sweet, the president of fhe company. who told him that If he handled the 'force' all right he could be assured of further and rapid promotion. The day he arrived he called at the office and asked me what time he was to report for duty. I noticed a sort of blank look on his face when he reported the first evening, and saw every one leave the office but him self. Until then he did not know that he was the whole show. He always after re garded this as a great Joke on himself, and as long as he stayed In the position was careful to enter upon the logbook all the meritorious work, as veil as the dcrc Uctlons. of his -force." John died a few years ago In California, after a long and distressing malady. Trlbate to Departed Friend. 'Before closing the personnel of the Union Pacific-Atlantic and Paclflo family I want to ,avw a word respecting its chief, the kte lamented John Jay Dickey, with wrjm I was intimately associated for nearly a quarter of a century.

Crelghton, who assisted hi brother Edward in th con struction of th overland telegraph line. H waa always a warm friend of th operators. John inherited most of his brother's immense wealth, which ha been considerably added to by hi own. efforts and business sagacity.

In recognition of his good deeds. Pope Plus conferred upon him the title of count of the Holy Roman em pire. Count Crelghton is still living In Omaha and bear his honors with proper dignity.' "Likewise In thl connection we should not forget th name of Hon. Edward Rosewater, the distinguished editor and proprietor of The Omaha Bee, which has grown from a little hand bill In 18T0 to a metropolitan' Journal .of world-wide re nown, occupying a building which is a marvel of elegance and convenience as the homo of the great paper whose name It bears. Rosewater came to Omaha as a common operator. He h-ft the service, I believe, during the strike of 1870. As I understand It, The Bee was established as a sort of protestant in the interests of organised labor. It has passed through many vicissitudes, coming many times perilously near shipwreck, which was averted by the good seamanship of Its founder. Today It Is a power In local as well as national politics. It has the same stinger today that It had the day of Its birth, and can use it with neatness and dispatch on any one whose actions are not comir.e II faut according to ita edi torial standards. Prond of Nebraska Prodneta. "One other product of Omaha should be mentioned. He was not an operator, ner had he any connection with the telegraphic profession. At the time of which I write he waa Just a broth of a boy with a big vision, which baa si no materialised. I refer to Henry D. Qstabrook. solicitor of , the- Western Uuloa TsLgra coosacy, New Tork City. While Henry is now one of the great telegraph family, I don't sup pose he would recognize a dot or a dash if he should meet a pair of them on the street. But when he goes against an ab stract proposition as to th tight and wrong of thing telegraphic, it la usually hi meaP; and when he pick up a few chunk of the English language and begin to Juggle them into an oration, cripple and children should Immediately get back of the ropes, for there will be something doing In Just a minute.

Both of thev schools have been built with American money, Mr. Wanamaker having been the most liberal patron. They are excellently located, are doing a splendid work and ore affiliated with the Presbyterian church. Fifty dollarj will pay for the food, room, clothe and tui tion for one boy, while $30 will provide for one girl, and interested Americans have al ready established several scholarships, but money Is badly needed to enlarge the facili ties of both these schools. We spent the Sabbath at Allahabad and visited both of these schools, and our ap- i preciatlon of their work was enhanced by our observations at Benares. It seemed like an oasis in the desert.
