W0MAN'S LIFE

INTEREST IN WORK
Believes Fact That Founder of Chris
tian Science Has Given Away For-
tune Alone Acquts Her of
AVarice Accusation

The writer of this article in recent
issue of The Midwestern Magazine OBJ
serves that: mo great character is
ever measured Alright by his own gen.
Grafton. In the distance and perspec-
tive that is given to aftertimes there
comes the opportunity Of truer
measurement, and the men of the later
day look back with wonder at the de-
tractors of the former time, and say:
If we had been in the days of our
fathers, we would not have been par
takers with them in the blood of the
prophets
"Then each succeeding generation
comes and goes, stones it's own proph-
cts and builds the monuments of those
who have gone before. There are al
ways some who recognize the crowned
one when he comes, always some who
have ears to hear and eyes to see when
the seer declares his vision, or the poet
sings his song; but through all the
years these have almost invariably
been the minorities, and to the men
of another generation comes the vision
of the glory that it's own generation
could SO little see.
New Ideas Painful
The great reason-or unreason-of
this seems to be that anyone who ac-
cOmplisheS anything worth Wnlle is al
ways a disturber of the peace; and the
disturbance of his work is always pro-
portioned to it's value. 1t has been said
that nothing is so painful as new
idea;" and the newer more radical and
far-reaching the idea the more pro-
nounced the disturbance that must
come as it displaces the more imper-
feet ideals of the old.
Enough time has gone by, and
enough of definite result has appeared
that the world has allotted to the
Christian Science leader, Mrs. Eddy. a
need of greatness. However men may
regard her work, or judge or misJudge
her motives, there is no question as to
her being one of the most important
figures in the worlds thought today.
This article is not written with the
purpose of dealing at all with what Mrs
Eddy has taught, or with the merits of
her work. 1t is it's purpose to look
simply at one line of the history OF this
remarkable woman, a line which has
furnished the occasion of carplng ana
cruel criticism, and which even to kind
ly and broad-minded ones, who are not
thoroughly informed, may seem open 20
criticism. The question has been
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-19

Dle that one whose motive was mer-
cenary would have taken this step.
AS the years have gone by, and the
work of Christian Science has grown,
the receipts from Mrs. Eddy's book
have correspondingly increased, and
she has become woman of moderate
wealth, as standards of wealth are
taken now. Her gifts to various en-
terprise5 connected with the cause of
Christian Science have been large,
while she has been constant donor
to worthy objects Of Christian and
philanthropic effort in other directions,
of which little has been known, out
side of the ranks of the recipients.
And now, in very recent months, has
come another gift, that of one million
dollars to found an institution to aid
in extending the educational work of
Christian Science by assisting those
who are needy and worthy, in gaining
its teachings. Mrs. Eddy has had this
project in mind for years, and has been
looking forward to the time when she
would have the means fifty to endow
it. In doing this she gives away all
her accumulations, except her real es-
tate which consists of her home at
Chestnut Hill and the former home at
Concord.
Now all this is history, and absolute
ly incompatible with any supposition
of avarice on the part of the leader,
one who for years has made the quest
of the dollar the leading, or even
leading aim, would never, in the ripe
ness of years that has come to Mrs.
Eddy, give away her all.
Laborer Worthy of Hire
Christian Scientists are not greatly
concerned as to their leaders reputa-
ton, nor as to the effects of any such
charge as that of an unworthy and
aVaricious motive. Indeed, it is now
matter of common recognition that Mrs.
Eddy has been rendering a supreme
service to humanity in establishing
and enforcing the recognition that, in
Jesus words, "the laborer is worthy of
his hire" as an essential of Christian
teaching. No one can or Will question
but that all service, all effort, by which
any man serves his fellowmen, should
be duly recompensed,
Mrs. Eddy has believed in her teach
ings and in her work. and she has con-
sistently insisted that a respectable
price should be paid for her books, and
for the services of Christian Scientists.
In all this she has been establishing the
precedent and intoxicating the doctrine
which, honestly applied, will make 1t
impossible for the worlds benefactors
to be allowed to face poverty and
neglect And so, by her success, she
has brought nearer the day when to
every one who serves, from the lowest
to the loftiest order of service, from the
one who digs bitches because the world
needs bitches to the one who brings
some great message of joy and beauty,
to each one his fellowman shall render
the recompense of generous wage, not
grudgingly nor of necessity, but as
Joyous human privilege.

"SERIOUS" PLAY AT LAST
FOR ETHEL BARRYM ORE

Sir Arthur Wing Pinero's new play,
"Midchannel, produced recently at
the st. James theater. London. and
later to be seen in this country with.
Ethel Barrymore in the leading role, Is
described as a gloomy, powerful drama
of matrimonial infelicities. A childless
couple are approaching middle age. The
wife is discovered to be unfaithful by
the husband, who refuses to forgive
her. The climax of the drama comes
with her suicide. Whatever else be said
of the play, which had a successful
London premiere, it evidently gives
Miss Barrymore the opportunity for
SERIOUS work" for which all the crit
les have been clamoring.

his attention principally to the zingara
and the music of the gypsies, tran
scribed and orchestrated, has proved
delightful. These gypsy compositions
have been only family shadowed In

them to fit the piano, and while he
retained their spirit he necessarily
tanned their wildness TO a marked de-

find him on hand for ten days to come

raised: Is Mrs. Eddy mercenary
woman? Or, if this be putting it little
brusquely and bluntly, is there, running
through all Mrs. Eddys work, however
high its intention, a shrewd, money
making motive?
Devoted to Her Work
This criticism of Mrs Eddy is so fire.
quently met that every thoughttul,
fair-minded person will be glad TO
know what conclusion the facts really
warrant, and this paper is written, not
to give Mrs. Eddy a defense, which she
does not need, but to give the. one who
desires to know knowledge by Whlch
true judgment may be reached.
lIrs Eddy has shown clear capablllty
in managing her own temporal affairs,
as she has in directing the interests OF
her church. But, judging Mrs. EDDY
by all the standards by which the ac-
tions of men are tested, a careful sur
vey of the facts of her life history can
leave only the conviction that on the
financial side of her work, as surely
and purely as on it's strictly ideal side
her entire motive has been an aD-
sorbed devotion to the cause or Cnris,
tian Science; that the steps taken that
have brought financial returns have
been taken in the interests OF this
work, and not. for the sake OF the
money they would bring.
Mrs. Eddy's early work was done in
poverty and privation. For years she
healed the sick gratuitously and re-
ceived but slight returns from rev
students taught. When Mrs. Eddy hrst
published her book, Science and
Health" there was nothing in an eX-
ternaI way to encourage, and every
thing to discourage, its publication
The early editions were a trouble and
expense that more than offset their
revenue.
College Profits Large
There was then little demand for the
book, and critics who deigned to notice
it said it would never be read. The
book has now a wide circulation ano
large sales, but from any worldly point
of view-and a mercenary motive al
ways gives this point of view-this
could not then he foreseen.
In 1881 Mrs. Eddy opened the Massa-
chusetts Metaphysical college for stu
dents. The tuition fee was a generous
one, $500 for a course lasting barely
three weeks. This seems large sum
IL the estimate is simply an ordinary
computation of the amount of time
involved, but those who received this
teaching were more, vastly more, than
satisfied as to the value received. The
real point involved, however, is thls-
what other guarantee could well be
given, that the students who sought
instruction in Christian Science were
earnest seekers rather than curious
inquirers and experimenters?
After about eight years work, the
college was closed, and at a time when,
as Mrs. Eddy has said, its prosperity
was overwhelming Now it is certain
that the desire for money is a growing
appetite--it increases by what 1t feeds
on. But when the applications for en-
trance to the college were multiplying,
and the demand was for Mrs. Eddy's
personal instruction; when a golden
harvest of financial returns was ready
to be poured at her feet, she closed
the college, and withdrew entirely from
public work, except an occasional pub
lie appearance.
