In the January number of Nc
Clure's will begin the Life of Mary
Baker G.. Eddy and the History of
the Christian Science Movement.
For the first time a complete i'm
partial and true story of Mrs. Eddy
and Christian Science is to be had
IL will run throughout the year.
Georgine Milmine has written the
story For nearly three years she
has pursued her study OF the sub
JeCts. Five other writer's OF Nc
Clures stan have worked with her
TO make this story accurate. fair.
unbiased and complete. In view OF
the fact that for some months the
press has been full OF diverse and
conflicting news and statements re-
garding Airs. Eddy. it is evident
chat accurate knowledge concerning
her is difficult 10 obtain in "A short
time. Consequently McClures long
and thorough preparation of It's Sc
ries will give us for the first time
a true history and account of Ler
and her cult.
carl Schurz's "Reminiscences Of a
long life will be continued. An in
dicator of the timeliness Of these
"reminiscences and the reawakened
national interest in Carl Schurz TO
which they have contributed are
the great Carl SchUrz Memorial
Meetings held recently in the cities.
and the Memorial Movement start
ed which proposes TO raise S250,0O0
and to erect a Carl Schurz Memoir
ial as tribute TO his great service
TO the progress of our country.
William Allen White. Samuel Hop
kins Adams, Burton j. Hendrick
and George Kibbe Turner will also
contribute to McClure's powerful
articles on present day topics, con-
ditiOns and men OF national inter
est. These writer's are big men and
the work Of each one aside from its
literary achievement is a compelling
wholesome factor the the regenera-
tiOn which these United States are
now undergoing.
George Kennan who won his
spurs by his remarkable series on
Siberia and Russia's Exile System
has been added TO McClure's stan. !
The results of his recent investiga-
tions and work will appear at an
early date.
Ellen Terry contributes an inti-
mate history OF the English drama |
of cur day. This writing teens
with anecdotes and incidents from |
the lives of the great actors whom |
she knew intimately. From these |
droll. amusing and interesting hap
penings we can undertand why |
these men and women of genius be- |
came loved and famous.
For the story readers products of |
all McClure's fiction favorites will |
appear and a large number of writ |
well-known names as Joseph Con- !
rad. Mary Stewart Cutting, Perce-I
val Gibbon, Viola Roseboro. o. Hen |
~, Myra Kelly. Rex BEECH. Mrs. |
Wilson Woodrow and Helen r. |
