WILSON LEAVES
MRS. EDDY C0TERIE
Associate Secretary Resigns and Quits
Pleasant view-The Cause a
Secret.


Concord, n. H., Sept. According
to report, which cannot be absolutely
verified, II. Cornell Wilson, who has
associated with Calvin A. Frye as pri-
vate secretary to Mrs Mary Baker G.
Eddy, has resigned his position and left
Pleasant View, not to return again.
He and his wife started Monday night
with their personal belongings in his
automobile for his home in Washing
ton, D. c., expecting that his journey
thither will occupy two or three weeks.
The reason for severing his connection
with the Pleasant View household can
not be learned here, only thu fact that
he has gone away and will not come
back being veuchsafed; nor can it be
escertained who his successor win be.
There was lively gossip when Mr..
Strang left Pleasant View and was sue
ceeded by Mr. Wilson Some declared
that he was forced out, but he wasn't.
He voluntarily resigned, contrary TO
Mrs Eddy's wishes, to take up the more
lucrative business Of healing and to re-
turn TO his homelife.
Mr.. Wilson's departure, however. is
sudden, and comes rs a surprise. He
had not held the berth year. AZ on
the occasion OF Secretary Stranq's re-.
tirement, there is much talk concerning
the real reason. In Wilson's case Il is
held that there appears to be more
ground for suspicion because Of his brief
stay in the Eddy household in posi-.
ton that is favorite with the aged
founders disciples.
