lin, N. II. He had the degree DDS,
was popular man, and considered a
rarely skiltul dentist. He bought a
place in Rumney, which he fancled, for
a summer resort At that time he
owned a house in Franklin, N. H.
Although as McClure's Magazine
claims, the court record may state that
my divorce from Dr. Patterson was
granted on the ground of desertion, the
cause nevertheless was adultery. Indi-
viduals are here today who We're pres
ent in court when the decision was
given by the judge and who know the
following facts. After the evidence
had been submitted that a husband
was about to have DR.. Patterson ar
rested for clipping with his wife, the
court instructed the clerk to record the
divorce in my favor.
What prevented Dr. Patterson's ar
rest was a letter from me to this self
same husband, imploring him not to do
it. When this husband recovered his
wife, he kept her prisoner in her
home, and l was also the means of re-
conciing the couple. A Christian Scien-
list has told me that with tears of gra-
titude the wife of this husband related
these facts to her just as I have stat
ed them. / lived with DR.. Patterson
peaceably, and he was kind to me up
to the time of the divorce.
The following affidavit by r D.
Rounsevel of Littleton, n. H., proprie-
tor of the White Mountain House, Fa-
byans, N. H., the original of which is
in my possession, is Of interest in this
connection:
About the year 1874, DR.. Patterson a
dentist, boarded with me in Littleton,
New Hampshire. During his stay, at
different times had conversation with
him about his wife, from whom he was
separated. He spoke of her being a
pure and Christian woman, and the
cause of the separation being wholly
on his part, that if he had done as he
ought he might have had as pleasant
and happy home as one could wish for.
Al that time 1 had no knowledge Of
who his wife was. Later on I learned
that Mary Baker G. Eddy, the Discov-
erer and Founder of Christian Science,
was the above mentioned woman.

is true. Before me,

I was obliged to be parted from my
son, because after my fathers second
marriage my little boy was not well

Who or what is the Mcclure his

If indeed It be I, allow me to thank
the enterprisng historians for the tes-
timony they have thereby given Of the
divine power Of Christian Science,
which they admit has snatched me
from the cradle and the grave, and
made me the beloved Leader Of millions
of the men and women I'm our own and
in other countries,-and all this be-
cause, the truth / have promulgated
has separated the tares from the
wheat, uniting in one body those who
love Truth; because Truth divides be-
tween sect and Science and renews the
heavenward impulse; because I still
hear the harvest song Of the Redeemer
awakening the NATIONS, causing man to
love his enemies; because blessed are
ye, when men shall revile you, and per-
secute you, and shall say all manner OF
evil against you falsely, for my sake"
MARY BAKER G.. EDDY.
