Of this editorial the Journal says, with a candor almost incredible: "We take pleasure in republishing from that old-established and valuable publication _Harper's Weekly_, the following merited tribute to Mrs. Eddy's utterances," etc. Then follows the editorial quoted above. [Illustration: _Copyrighted, 1903, by R. W. Sears_ GREETING THE PILGRIMS MRS. EDDY ON THE BALCONY OF HER CONCORD HOME ADDRESSING THE PILGRIMS IN 1903. FROM A PHOTOGRAPH MADE AT THE TIME BY R. W. SEARS] In the winter of 1898 Christian Science was given great publicity through the death, under Christian Science treatment, of the American journalist and novelist, Harold Frederic, in England. Mr. Frederic's readers were not, as a rule, people who knew much about Christian Science, and his taking off brought the new cult to the attention of thousands of people for the first time. Mrs. Eddy and the Peerage In December, 1898, the Earl of Dunmore, a peer of the Scottish Realm, and his Countess, came to Boston to study Christian Science. They were received by Mrs. Eddy at Pleasant View, and Lady Dunmore was present at the June communion, 1899. According to the _Journal_, Lady Dunmore's son, Lord Fincastle, left his regiment in India and came to Boston to join his mother in this service, and then returned immediately to his military duties. Lady Mildred Murray, daughter of the Countess, also came to America to attend the annual communion. A pew was reserved upon the first floor of the church for this titled family, although the _Journal_ explains that "the reservation of a pew for the Countess of Dunmore and her family was wholly a matter of international courtesy, and not in any sense a tribute to their rank." Lord Dunmore, at one of the Wednesday evening meetings, discussed the possibilities of a "Christianly-Scientific Alliance of the two Anglo-Saxon peoples." Even after his departure to England, Lord Dunmore continued to contribute very characteristic Christian Science poetry to the _Journal_. He paid a visit to Mrs. Eddy only a few months before his death in the summer of 1907. In 1904 the Earl was present at the convention of the Christian Science Teachers' Association in London, and sent Mrs. Eddy the following cablegram: "London, Nov. 28, 1904. "REV. MARY BAKER EDDY, "Pleasant View, Concord, N. H. "Members of Teachers' Association, London, send much love, and are striving, by doing better, to help you. "DUNMORE." To this Mrs. Eddy gallantly replied: "Concord, N. H., November 29, 1904. "EARL OF DUNMORE, AND TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION, London, G. B. "Increasing gratitude and love for your lordly help and that of your Association. "MARY BAKER EDDY."
