The following affidavit by K. ID. Rounseyel
of Littleton, n H., proprietor of the White
Mountain House. Fabyan's. n. H., the original
OF which is in my possession, is of interest in
this connections:
About the year 1874, DR.. Patterson, dem
fist, boarded with me in Littleton, New Hamp-
shire. During his stay, at different times l
had conversation with him about his wife,
from whom he was separated. He spoke of
her being pure and Christian woman, and
the cause OF the separation being wholly on
his part, that IL 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 l learned that Mary
Baker G. Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder
of Christian Science, was the above men
toned woman.

enterprising historians for the testimony
they have thereby given of the divine power
of Christian Science, which they admit has
snatched from the cradle and the grave,
and made me the beloved Leader of millions
of the good men and women in our own and
in other countries-and all this because, the
truth l have promulgated has separated the
tares from the wheat, uniting in one body
those who love Truth; because Truth divides
between 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; be-

you, and prosecute you, and shall say all man
