my advice. | never went into a
trance nor described scenes far away,
as McClure's Magazine says.
My oldest sister dearly loved me,
but wounded her pride when I adopt
ed Christian Science, and to Baker
that was sorry offense.
McClure's Magazine calls DR.. Dan
iel Patterson. my second husband, IAN
itinerant dentist. - 1t says that after
my marriage we ''lived for a short
time at Tilton, then moved to Frank
lin. During the following nine
years the Pattersons led a rowing ex-
istence. The doctor practiced in sew
eral towns, from Tilton to North Gro
ton and Rumney."
| When | was married to him, DR..
Daniel Patterson was located in Frank
lin, N. II. He had degree IDS,
was popular man, and considered
rarely skillful dentist. He bought
place in Rumney, which he fancied,
for summer resort. At that time
he owned house in Franklin, N. H.
Although, as McClure's Ma gazine
claims, the court record may state
that my divorce from DR.. Patterson
was granted on the ground of deser-
ton, the cause nevertheless was adult
cry. Individuals are here today who
were present in court when the decis-
ion was given by the judge and who
know the following facts. After the
evidence had been submitted that a
husband was about to have DIR. Pat
terson arrested 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 letter from me to this self
same husband bimploring him not to
do it. When the husband recovered
his wife he kept her a prisoner in her
home and was also the means of re-
conciling the couple. A Christian
Scientist has told me that with tears
of gratitude the wife of this husband
related these facts to her just as |
have sta ted 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.
Roundsevel of Littleton, N. H., pro-
prietor of the White Mountain House,
Fabyans, N. H., the original of which
is in my possession, is of interest in
this connection.
About the year 1874, DR.. Patterson,
dentist, boarded with me in Little
ton, New Hampshire. During his
stay, at different times | had conversa-
ton with him about his wife, from
whom he was separated. He spoke of
her being a pure and Christian wo-
man, 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.
At that time had no knowledge Of
who his wife was Later on | learned
that Mary Baker G. Eddy, the Dis
coverer and Founder of Christian Sci
ence, was the above mentioned wo-
man.

Then personally appeared R. D.
Rounsevel and made oath that the
within statement by him signed is
true.
Before me,
H. M. Wood,
Justice of the Peace.
| was obliged to be parted from my
son, because after my fathers second
marriage my little boy was not well
come in my fathers house.
Who or what is the Mcclure ''his-
tory so-called presenting? Is it my
self, the veritable Mrs. Eddy, whom
the New York World declared dying
of cancer, or is it her alleged double
or dummy heretofore described?
If indeed it be |, allow me to thank
the enterprising historians for the
testimony 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 mill
ions of the men and women in our own
and other countries, and all this be-
cause, the truth l 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 | still
hear the harvest song of the Redeemer
awakening the nations, causing man
to love his enemies; because blessed
are We, when men shall revile you,
