early twenties, he fell in love with her
and proposed marriage. She married
him, the ceremony taking place in

woman commented. "Old George

GCoMMUNICATED.1

In years past, numerous persons have
taken it upon themselves to write of
the life of Mary Baker Eddy, the ven-
cradle founder of the Christian Science
Church. In certain instances, as in the
case of one Of the leading monthly
magazines, atfidavits were procured
from certain individuals, and in good
faith, presumably, making Mrs. Eddy
appear as q woman OF most unchrlstian
character
1t is unfortunate for the world that
it condemns those who bear witness to
the truth, as when our Master was
called a wine bibber," etc. He was
considered so ungodly by the ecclesiast-
les of his time that it was deemed best
to cruelty Him, that stop be put to
such dangerously teaching.
As attested to by unnumbered thou
sands Of weary seekers after health and
peace, Mrs. Eddy has found the prin-
ciple OF Jesus works, and has shared
His joy as we'll as His prosecutions.
At the time the magazine referred to
was writing its history(?) of Mrs. Eddy
and the faith she has established, the
Christian Science Publishing Society
and the Publication Committee of the
any facts they had, in order that the
truth might be given. The proffer was
rejected, the result being a history
written by those avowedly antagonistiC
to Mrs. Eddy and those of her faith.
Shortly after the articles were begun
in the magazine referred to, Sibyl Viii.
bur 0'Brien, q reporter on one of the
Bosom daily papers, who had on one
occasion previously interviewed Mrs.
Eddy at her home in Concord, New
Hampshire, commenced history OF
Mrs Eddy in the Human Life magazine
of Boston. Her data was cleaned from
people who had known Mrs. Eddy as a
young woman. and during the whole
course OF her life to the present time.
These informants we're of all religious
persuasions, some expressing antago-
nism to her.
Recently this history has been pub
lished in book form under title Of,
The Life of Mary Baker Eddy,"a copy
Of which has been presented to the Lii
brary here in Marietta, By Mr.. E. III.
Carmans Publication Committee of
the Christian Science Church for the
State OF Georgia
1t is desired that all may know Mrs.
Eddy as she is. Through her teaching
and example, her students have been
able to bring gladDess and health into
the lives OF many.
