MARY BAKER EDDY, FOUNDER Of
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE, PASSES On

r;s;ne him of his mothers death, and
reouesting information as to his at
tendance and that of his family.
"Mrs. Eddy was born in Bow. N. H.,
1uly 16, 1921, and was therefore in her
Goth year..
Few of the congregation at the
morning service of the mother church
TODAY knew of Mrs. Eddy's death. The
service was asusual, and the two read
ers Judge Smith and Mrs. Leland T.
Powers, presented the sermon of the
day.
The routine service, which closes
with a hymn, the reading of the "scien-
tific statement of Being" and the ben
ediction, was strictly followed, but just
before the benediction, Judge Smith
changed the usual form by saying:
Reads Her Letter.
"I shall now read part of letter
written by our revered leader, and
printed on page 1876 of Miscellaneous
writings
"My Beloved Students: You may
be looking to see me in my accustomed
place with you, but this you must no
longer expect When l retired from
the field of labor, it was a departure,
socially, publicly and finally, from the
routine and from such material modes
as society and our societies demand.
Rumors are rumors-nothing more.
am still with you on the field of bat
tie, taking forward marches, broader
and higher views, and with the hope
that you will follow.
Passed From Sight.
"'All our thoughts should be given
to the absolute denomination of Chris.
tan Science. You can well afford to
give me up, since you have in my last
revised edition of Science and Health
your teacher and guide
Although these lines" said Judge
Smith, "were written years ago, they
are true today and will continue to be
true But it becomes my duty to an.
nounce that Mrs. Eddy passed from
our sight last night at quarter before
II o'clock; at her home on Chestnut
Hill. Only those who sat through the
service with the knowledge of the mo-
mentous event of a few hours before
heard the benediction."
Leave in Silence.
Then the greater part of the congre-
cation left their seats in silence. There
were no words of sorrow, although
many tear was shed. The strains OF
the occasional on the great organ
were as joyous as ever. AS the church.
goers scattered after the service, the
question of future leadership was re.
ferred to with great reserve.
Those who expressed view said
there would be no change in the meth
DDS of carrying on the work; that Mrs.
Eddy's teachings and instruction would
be implicitly followed, and the church
that she founded would continue to
grow in the future as it had in the
past.
