They have all the beauties of a great cathedral chime, with
infinitely less expense.
There is practically no limit to the uses to which these bells may be put.
They can be called into requisition in theatres, concert halls, and public
buildings, as they range in all sizes, from those described down to little
sets of silver bells that might be placed on a small centre table.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
MARY BAKER EDDY THE "MOTHER" OF THE IDEA--SHE HAS AN IMMENSE
FOLLOWING THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES, AND A CHURCH COSTING
$250,000 WAS RECENTLY BUILT IN HER HONOR AT BOSTON
"My faith has the strength to nourish trees as well as souls," was the
remark Rev. Mary Baker Eddy, the "Mother" of Christian Science, made
recently as she pointed to a number of large elms that shade her delightful
country home in Concord, N.H. "I had them brought here in warm weather,
almost as big as they are now, and not one died." This is a remarkable
statement, but it is made by a remarkable woman, who has originated a new
phase of religious belief, and who numbers over one hundred thousand
intelligent people among her devoted followers.
The great hold she has upon this army was demonstrated in a very tangible
and material manner recently, when "The First Church of Christ, Scientist,"
erected at a cost of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, was dedicated
in Boston.
