NO i ST AH SCIENCE A GREAT GATHERING AT BOSTON. EVERY STATE REPRESENTED. The Trip to Pleasant View at Con cord, N. II., the Home of Mrs. Eddy, Was the Crowning Event of this Week. 10, 000 People In Atten dance. Boston, Mass., July 2, 1903. To the Editor: Wednesday at 7:30 p. m. v as held the closing service of the Christian Scientists for this annual gathering. It was the Testimonial service, such as is held in every town or city where Christian Science is establish ed. On this occasion the great hall was crowded beyond its seating ca pacity (6,000); hundreds stood and 2,000 had to hold an overflow meet ing in the adjoining exhibition hall, in order to give all a chance to even hear the services. Although the time limit was made 3 minutes, but few comparatively could tell their good news even then; often five or six would be on the floor at the same time; so, as the time drew near its close, Prof. Her ing (who, by the way, is a son of Dr. Constantine Hering, one of the founders of Homoeopathy in this country) asked all who had been healed to rise if they wished to bear their testimony to the efficacy of Christian Science; and it was im pressive to see the thousands who promptly availed themselves of the opportunity to express their joy in their Lord and His deliverance. The diseases healed were numer ous consumption, Bright's disease, Asiatic cholera, diptheria, drink habit, rattlesnake bite, agnosticism; and one, a lormer theological stu dent, gave a most beautiful tribute to his present understanding of life and the teachings of Jesus as ex plained in Christian Science, and to the love so forgiving, so tender as ; lived by Mrs. Eddy that all may enjoy the fruits of her labors. It was noticeable how many men testified as to victory not only over sickness, but over business discour agements and difficulties, as well as over gambling, drinking, the use of tobacco and other bad habits. Sydney Australia; Manchester, England; Manila, P. I., Berlin, Ger many; and other foreign countries were represented as was every State in the union. Judge llanna, former editor of the Christian Science Journal, testi fied to the wonderful courtesy of the Press towards bis subject and him self during his extensive lecture tour; and, speaking for the Cause and for every Scientist, he made acknow ledgement of the public fair spirit in every way. The Press of Boston has been most generous, as have all over the coun trv. for everyone seems to wish to mf give the news as it really is. ThA trin to Pleasant View, at Concord, N. H., the home of Mrs "Rddv. was the crowning event of this week. The great crowd, esti mated at 10,000 people, was the best handled mass of people the writer ever beheld. The hospitality of the Concord people was marvelous, homes were opened, the club house was given over entirely to the Scien tists, tables and lunch supplied, and one member served the great com pany with lemonade sent from his own house. All this evidenced with what loving regard Mrs. Eddy is held in her home town. Never did she look stronger or happier than as The body of the dead one was sent she greeted this multitude of happy ' to Hart, the taxidermist, with in upturned faces, and her wards were structions to stuff it as soon as pos of sweetest counsel and constant Bible. They were as follows: "Beloved Brethren, welcome to your home in my heart. Welcome to Pleasant View, but not to vary ing views. I would present a gift to you to-day only that this gift is already yours, God hath given it to all mankind. It is His coin, His cur rency, it hath His image and super scription. This gift is a passage of scripture, it is my sacred motto and reads thus: 'Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, verily thou shalt be led. De light thyself also in the Lord, and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.' "Beloved, some of you have come long distances to kneel with us in sacred silence, in blessed commun ion, unity of faith, understanding, prayer and promise and to return in joy, bearing your sheaves with you. In parting I repeat to those dear members of my church, trust in truth, and have no other trusts. To- dav is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: 'And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness and sorrow and sigh ing shall flee away.' " Rev. Irvine: C. Tomlinson, of Concord, N. H., was elected Presi dent. A more joyful throng never has been seen in Boston and all vis itors will ever feel grateful to the Boston Scientists for their royal hos pitality and good cheer. Mary Hatch Harrison.

The spacious lawn of the adjacent homes of little Misses Smith and Slocumb was brilliantly lighted with a special equipment of electric wires and lights that made the scene as bright as noon day. The color scheme of decorations was pink and white, and these were followed out, not only in the floral decorations and tinted lights, but also in the delic ious creams and cakes that were served so bountifully to the large gathering of young people. Music and dancing were indulged in on the wide balcony and in the spacious parlors of Dr. Smith's resi dence, and games on the lawn, and every body had a most delightful evening. TWIN ELEPHANTS.

THIS LETTER TELLS Of an Insurance Contract That Cost Less Than $3.75 for Each Thousand Dollars of insurance. Kennedyville, Md., May 2, 1903. Mr. Herbert N. Fell, Manager, Wil mington, Del. Dear Sir: Having been for so long a time a policy holder of The Mutual Life and being more than pleased with the result of ray invest ment, I feel it might be to the inter est of the Company and therefore to my own interest to write you in ref erence to the matter, and at the same time give you the privilege of making watever use of the letter you may see fit. I secured my first policy on Oc tober 16, 1867, when I was only 28 years of age. This policy is for $1, 500, with an annual premium of $32.55. The dividend additions which have been credited on same amount to $942.85, and would doubt less have been considerably greater than this had I not cashed $537.85 of same in the early years of the policy. There still remains, however, $405 additions to this policy and in case of my death at the present time the Company would pay $1,905. The total amount of premiums which have been paid the Company up to the present date is $1,139.25 and had I not drawn the dividends in the early years of the policy I have no doubt the additions to same would have fully equalled the amount of my premiums. As it is, however, these additions amount to within $196.40 of the total premiums paid, so the net cost of carrying this pol icy during the past 35 years has Only b;en about $3.75 per annum per thousand. I have always been an advocate of The Mutual Lite, and in 1894 I took an additional $2,500 on the Life Ten-Year Distribution plan, which was issued at age 55. I note with a great deal of pleasure the most ex cellent settlements that are being made through your office on pol icies similar to this, and I am look ing forward to a dividend of not less than 25 per cent of my total prem iums in August 1904. With best wishes for yourself and The Grand Old Mutual, I beg to re main, Yours very truly, TlLGMAN SHAFER. Anyone desiring to know what such a contract would cost him, can ascertain by writing H. R.

In the June issue of the Interna tional Dental Journal, one ot tne leading journals of the dental profes sion in this country, appears a lengthy and valuable paper, the sub ject, "The Possibilities of the Tooth Brush," written by Dr. B. F. Ar rington of this city, who is authority pertaining to practical tooth brushes having designed and furnished pat terns for some of the best and most popular that have ever been placed on the market. The first paragraph of the paper reads as follows: "As a health pre serving factor (preservative and res- -citi7ov there is possibly no one agent, implement or medicinal rem edy in the whole catalogue of reme dies recorded in materia medica, nor any one or one hundred of the nu merous patent and proprietary reme dies with which the country is at present so mercilessly supplied, that can be used to such beneficial advant age for prevention of disease, and for the healthful preservation of teeth and gums as the tooth brush, if care ful lv and systematically applied sev oroi times daily from childhood to mature and advanced age." Other paragraphs . are equally pointed in advocacy of the more fre quent use of the brush to prevent and keep in check decay of teeth, and diseased gums, and to prevent offen sive breath. The doctor contends that the free use of the brush will prevent much of tooth decay, and that troublesome disease Pyorrhea Alvealoris,or Riggs disease, which he is now treating as a specialty, and advises that too much importance cannot be given to the subject of the tooth brush as a health factor. As a dental specialist, Dr. Arriugton has established a reputa tion as a successful treater of Pyor rhea Alvealoris, or Riggs disease,the most frequent and troublesome of all the diseases of the mouth, a disease that has long baffled the skill of the profession. l'ossioiy ne has no superior as a successful treater of this troublesome disease. His treatment is of limited duration, and cure is speedily effect ed in a large majority of eases, and is rapidly gaining popular favor.
