the discoverer and founder of Chris
tian Science; that l should depart
from its principles must indeed shock
the world. ! feel that in the face of
what I have heard I ought to give you
every opportunity to print in your
paper personal observations that will
directly refute such statements, found
ed in the brain of some imaginative
being, who, disregarding all truth, all
facts, gives to the world lie in the
shape Of truth"
1T has been persistently reported,
Mrs. Eddy" the reporter said, that
you are a sufferer from cancer. VIII
you kindly make positive statement
denying or confirming the truth Of
such report?"
Sitting upright with eyes that shone
with a strange light Mrs. Eddy replied
in tones that carried strong convic-
ton:
II Have No Bodily Ailment."
Il do not sutrer from any bodily all
ment, and never before in all my life
have so thoroughly enjoyed the bless
ing of perfect health. l am an old
lady" she added more softly, and then
smiling, added: THAT is, in years but
not in my own sight"
us it true that doctor Of medicine
calls upon you regularly, and that you
are under his care professionally
"To that question let me reply as l
did to the previous one; and in addi-
ton l will summon my household, and
they will tell you in language that
there is no mistaking that those re-
sponsible for such statements are I'M
truthful and unjust"
Mrs. Eddy rose, and with a quick
movement touched an electric button
at the drawing room door. Her whole
bearing was one of suppressed earn
estness leaving no doubt that her
whole heart was intent upon proving
beyond a question the accuracy Of her
statements.
No Doctor, Says Her Sister.
A few minutes later the entire house
hold assembled in the hallway, and in
answer to questions put by the repre-
sentative of the Post, plainly and fully
told what they knew of the daily life
of the head of the Christian Science
church. All expressed amazement that
for a moment anyone should think
| Mrs Eddy in ill-health, when each day
she is seen out driving about the
streets Of Concord in all kinds OF
weather. Indignation was evident on
every face.
All were positive that no doctor OF
medicine ever attended upon Mrs
Eddy, and that she was under the care
of physician was positively denied by
her personal servants.
THE world may not be willing tC
accept this as proof positive, but
think that I will receive the usual
truthful representation in the press OF
the country and the base canards cir
culated receive but scant recognition.
IF there is nothing further that you
would like to say l will ask to be eX-
cused," Mrs. Eddy said, for l have
much work to do. Work has grown to
be such habit with me that when

There is so much to be done; our de-
sire is to do so much, but the time is Sc
