Mrs r(ARxb EDDr

| day in reference to her death by William
| 8. Campbell, chairman Of the committee
on publication Of the Christian Science
| Church here.
"For years Mrs. Eddy has patiently and
persistently been turning the thought OF
beneficiaries from herself to the divine
principle of her teaching, God, as the one
cause Of all that has been and will be ac.
complished through Christian Science
continued Mr.. Campbell.
1.-THE news has gone forth that the
discoverer Of Christian Science has pass
is again called to the life Of Mary Baker
Eddy. Dead? There Is no death; what
seems so is transition wrote Longfel-
low Through Mrs. Eddys teaching the
world is coming to recognize the truth
of this statement. Mrs. Eddy Is not dead.
Not only do her works live after her. but
she herself is alive in another plane OF
consciousness. To those who understand
her teachings the eternity Of life Is no
mere conjecture, 1t Is solid conviction
based on a science that has spiritual
foundation.
Not Death to Die.
''Mrs. Eddy says on page 1874 Of her
book, Science and Health, with Key to
the Scriptures, II you or l should ap-
pear to die we should not be dead; and
again on page 254, During the sensual
ages, absolute Christian Science may not
be achieved prior to the change called
death, for We have not the power to
demonstrate what we do not understand
1.-THE influence OF Mrs. Eddy's life and
teaching has made her the worlds bene-
factor She has taught that heaven is to
be gained by learning how to live rather
than by learning how to die, and made
practical the words Of the Master, ''The
kingdom Of heaven is at hand: The
lfrra of t,ao 10 n
has made practical the promise of Jesus,
Peace l leave with you, my peace !
give unto you.
"Of her discovery Mrs. Eddy says on
page 10s Of the Christian Science text
book: When apparently near the con-
fines OF mortal existence, standing al
ready within the shadow of the death val
ley, I learned these truths in divine sci
divine mind. and that life, truth and love
are all-poWerfui and ever-present.' She
has labored long and well that others may
have the benefit Of this revelation.
at may be interesting to note that Mrs.
Eddy's life work began when she was
forty-five years Of age. The keynote to
her work may be found in this statement
on page 464 Of the book above referred to:
In founding a pathological system of
Christianity the author has iabored to ex-
personality. Neither dishonesty nor ig-
norance ever founded, nor can they over
throw, q scientific system Of ethics"
Settlement With Sons.
William E. Chandler, former senator
from New Hampshire. who represented
Mrs. Eddys sons in their litigation
against her, said:
There was much bitterness shown dur
ing the litigation in which I represented
Mrs. Eddy's sons. But the matter was
finally arranged by family settlement,
the son and another relative receiving
$4,000. I am not in touch with Mrs.
Eddy's affairs nor those Of her relatives
at present"
The reading room in the Colorado build
ing, maintained by Christian Scientists
will be closed temporarily on account Of
Mrs. Eddy's death.
Willis F. Gross of the lecture board Of
the First Church Of Christ Scientist of
Boston discussed christian Science in
the Columbia Theater yesterday after
| noon. Although informed Of the death Of
Mrs. Eddy. the founder Of the church, he
made no reference to her demise. He de-
cIared there is no mystery in Christian
| Science save the mystery that enshrouds
everything which is not understood
