MRS. VI. II. CHYNOwETH.
her the new incarnation of Christ. But for
all this Mrs. Chynoweth seems to care very |
little. Il cannot help it," she says, that my |
followers regard me as they do. There Is
no sacrilege in my thought, and | intend |
none IN my speech or action, for know |
that of myself | am nothing and can do !
nothing. Here in our home we live the
right life, my family and l."
Wealth and Business Capacity.
Mrs. Chynoweth is a very rich woman. A
moderate estimate of her wealth puts it at
100000 And each of her two sons, r.
and J. Hayes, who live with her, is worth
as much more Aud all of these Sl5,O0o,0O0
have been piled up, she firmly believes,
through the guiding power of the Holy
Ghost.
She is about IS years old, is tall and thin
in person and wears rich and elegant cloth
ing, with a very little jewelry. She has
small, bright, piercing brown eyes, brown
hair slightly streaked with gray, and sal
low, tanned complexion. The expression
of her face is a strange and striking mix
ture of gentleuess, love and tenderness and
shrewd, hard business capacity.
This influence which directs my life"
Mrs. Chynoweth said, land which | be-
lieve to be the Holy Ghost, has been my
constant guide for nearly 20 years. Before
it came upon me l was a skeptic-I did not
believe in the Christian religion, nor in the
immortality of the soul, nor the Bible But
the first time that it came upon me strong
enough so that l preached without know
ing what l spoke | quoted texts from the
Bible which / had never read. Now am
a Christian.
Her Mental Atmosphere.
Years ago, when was a young girl in
nv old home in Wisconsin, and before any
one except my own family knew of this in
huence that was always about me, there
came to our house some people who vert
deeply troubled. They slept in my room
and the next morning the woman said
There Is something strange about tina
room. What is it? The moment l enteret
1t a deep peace fell upon me. | slept sound
ly, and this morning ! awakened feeling
happy and content, with my troubles al
gone And that is only one of many SINH
lar experiences which people have had VIII
have entered my room or been much in IN,
presence. 1t is the mental atmosphere il
which l constantly live"
Then Mrs. Chynoweth told how she mad
the iron mine discovery which formed tn
beginning of her wealth. 1t was while sh
was a widow after the death of her frs
husband. Her two sons were prosperou
lawyers in Ashland, Wis, and had been in
vesting their money in pine lands. Oneida
the influence came upon her and made he

iron mines instead of timber land. Sh
did so, and at once all three of them, tn
mother still subject to the strange influenc
and leading the party, set forth and wen
to Hurley, some 80 or 40 miles away. i
number of companies had been long work
inc . on, fag

over the fields until, without any volitio
of her own and entirely in subsection to tn
mysterious power which was directing he
actions, she came to sudden stop. Sh
told mining man of long experience VIII
was with them that she would make he
location there. He laughed at her sal
there was no possibility of one in that plac
and strongly advised another location. Blu
she ordered a shaft to be sunk without tn
usual preliminary of test pit. A goo
grade of bessemer iron ore was found, tn
lode being shaped like the roof of a house
the apex directly under the point at whic
she stood. They called this mine the Ash
land, and she and her sons still own tn
whole of it, They also own half interes

which was another of her locations.
Other people came to ask her assstanc
when her wonderful success became known
and she never failed to lead them to tn
right spot, even though she walked owe
several feet of snow in making the location
One of her sons was made superintendent
Of the mine, although he was entirely with
out experience. But she guided all of hi
actions through the power which influence,
her, even telling him, when he went east l.
sell their mine products, what firms -
though she had never heard their name
before-he should deal with and what price
he should ask
