CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS
DEDICATION TO THE FOUNDER OF THE ORDER OF A BEAUTIFUL CHURCH AT
BOSTON--MANY TORONTO SCIENTISTS PRESENT
The Christian Scientists of Toronto, to the number of thirty, took part in
the ceremonies at Boston last Sunday and for the day or two following, by
which the members of that faith all over North America celebrated the
dedication of the church constructed in the great New England capital as a
testimonial to the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Rev. Mary
Baker Eddy.
The temple is believed to be the most nearly fire-proof church structure on
the continent, the only combustible material used in its construction
being that used in the doors and pews. A striking feature of the church is
a beautiful apartment known as the "Mother's Room," which is approached
through a superb archway of Italian marble set in the wall. The furnishing
of the "Mother's Room" is described as "particularly beautiful, and blends
harmoniously with the pale green and gold decoration of the walls. The
floor is of mosaic in elegant designs, and two alcoves are separated from
the apartment by rich hangings of deep green plush, which in certain lights
has a shimmer of silver. The furniture frames are of white mahogany in
special designs, elaborately carved, and the upholstery is in white and
gold tapestry.
