from the Associated Press tonight. He
expressed himself as wholly unprepared
for the news, and said:
Il was not only not expecting Mrs.
Eddy TO pass away. but 1 was looking
for a further demonstration of her

The death of the leader NAV be a
stumbling block to some members of
the church, but the ranks are so
strongly fortified that the work will
be carried on without disintegration.

Science has received"
Doctor Eddy was in Boston last SIM
day attending services at the Christian
Science church and visited a number
of friends, but was not informed that
Mrs. Eddy was not in her usual health.

meeting with Mrs. Eddy as a shrewd
little man of argunentative disposition

made her one of the most famous OF

dwelt long under the influence of
Quinby's mesmeric belief and it came
to have a great though not supreme
weight in her subsequent teachings.
Later she denounced Quinby's methods
she said: II discovered the science of
mind reading and that was enough.
RECEIVERS IN A NIGHT
After spending two years in Portland
Mrs. Patterson rejoined her husband
in Lynn, where she lived five years,
continuing her study of metaphysics.
While there she suffered fall on the
ice, which the doctor said was severe,
but from which she recovered, 1t Is
said, in one night. 1t was this incl
dent that led directly to the pron1ui-
cation of his discovery of Christian
science.
The little house in Broad street in
Lynn. where she lived at this time, is
a Mecca of Christian Science pilgrims
from all over the world today. 1t was
in 1876. nine years after the discovery,
that the first edition of Science and
Health was published. The closing
chapters of the manuscript were writ
ten in an upper room of the Broad
street house.
In 1877, four years after her separa-
tion from Mr.. Patterson, the founder
of the new belief was married to Asa
Gilbert Eddy. In the interval she had
been admitted into the Congregational
denomination and baptised.
FINDS MANY FOLLOWERS
Mrs. Eddy established the Massa-
chusetts metaphysical college in Bos-
ton in 1881. Her teachings were taken
up and accepted at first by a few fol-
lowers, and, as years passed by, a
larger and larger number, until the
denomination today extends to many
lands and numbers millions of ad-
herents.
Mrs. Eddy began preaching in 1873,
and organized the First Church of
Christian Scientist in Boston in 1873
Subsequently a large edifice was erect
ed in this city of which she was made
pastor emeritus. Her writings at this
time became voluminous, and she con-
tributed largely to the Christian Sci
ence Journal. the Christian Science
Sentinel and Du Herold du Christian
Science.
Mrs. Eddy took UP her residence in
Concord in 1889 and it was at her
home at Pleasant View that she
watched the great growth of the de-
nomination and received many enthusi-
astic followers. Finally the number
of visitors became so large that she

"STAGE' HANDS
Come IN PLENTY
Businessman Desires Painters,
but Sign Brings All Sorts
of Actors

There are two or more varieties of
stage hands, but there is a south side
businessman who forgets it, and now he
is somewhat out of humor. Here is the
reason:
The man a few days ago had big
painting contract on hand and he want
ed skilled workmen. so he hung out a
Dig sign which read like this:
Eight first class stage hands. None
others need apply
1t was in prominent place and seen
by many. News of it spread by grape
vine' through the theatrical district
Early the following morning his tel
ephope bell began ringing, while the
office boy was kept busy with those
who called in person. From appear
ances most of the theaters in Chicago
had closed. for stage hands galore
wanted jobs. All kinds. sizes and col
ors there were in his office.
One of the first there was a real

IN deep voice he explained that

and that he had been crowded out tenn

which the man might have open. Yes,
he had played in Hamlet" and many
dramas and knew the stage.
The former actor was one pathetic
figure in a roomful of assorted charac-
ters. There were typical stage hands,
boys and men, and they all wanted
work. says the Chicago News.
With the number of telephone calls
increasing, it proved too much for the
businessman, and after he had dis
missed the first roomful he fled, leaving
his employees to turn away the horde of
applicants which followed during the
day.
But even that would have been all
right had not some of his friends heard
of the experience. Then the next day
the telephone began ringing again at
short intervals.
Il am Booth Hamlet, temporarily at

The businessman explained patiently
The phone continued to ring and the
wire brought him messages of the same
tenor, but varying as the friends

RUMORS OF OIL FINDS

Rigs Operated in White River
Hills for Is Months
Especial Dispatch to The Call

PORTERVILLE, Dec. 4-Persistent
stories of finds of oil in the White
River hills to the southwest of this city
received confirmation here yesterday
when former employe of a Ducor
development company said that to his
knowledge oil had been struck in one
we'll and that the lag of another showed
strong indications of the hole being
close to oil sand.
Two rigs were taken into the White
River section about Is months ago, 1t
was said, for the purpose of securing
water for Ducor orange fields. Work
was suspended on a we'll after almost
year of drilling with the story that
no water had been found. but all who
approached it were warned off.
Agents of two firms have been buy
ing up property in the foothills for
several months, although denied by all
interested in the drilling<operations in

has been signed with a Pennsylvania
firm for the installation of 10 well
rigs to be placed in running order
within 120 days.

Tells of Discovery

In her autobiography Mrs. Eddy
says:
THE discovery (of Christian Science)
came to pass this way: During 20 years
prior to my discovery I had been try
ing to trace all physical effects to a
mental cause and in the latter part of
1855 / agined the scientific certainty
that all causation was mind and every
effect a mental phenomenon.
II then withdrew from society about
search the scriptures, to find the sci
things of God and show them to the
creature and reveal the great creative
principle-deity.
The bible was my textbook. 1t an
swered my questions as to how I was
healed; but the scriptures had to me a
new meaning, a new tongue. Their
spiritual signifcation appeared, and
apprehended for the first time. in their
spiritual meaning, Jesus teaching and
demonstration and the principles and
rule of spiritual science and metaphy-
sical healing-in word, Christian
Science
Mrs. Eddy and her work several
times in the course of her religious
activities were attacked by antagonists
through the courts. but in all cases
the assaults failed of i'll effect, and the
cases which for short periods created
widespread interest quickly fell fiat.
She never took legal steps to punish
her adversaries. She was once obliged
to take action to protect the integrity

Other less friendly commentators on
Mrs. Eddy's work and life have criti-

have denounced her as an imposter.
Her life began among the granite

She was of delicate health from her

About 1850 a wave of spiritualism
