Mrs. Eddy Was Born on a Farm.


Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, commonly
spoken of as the discOyerer and the
founder of Christian Science. was born
on a farm near Bow. New Hampshire.
on July 10. 1921, the daughter Of Mark
and Abigail A. Baker She was the
youngest of six children.
She grew to be, as some one wrote
not long ago, "one of the richest wom-
en- in America-more than that, the
most powerful American woman"
There came a time, 1t was in 1875,
that about a dozen disciples of wom-
an named now Mrs. Mary Baker
Glover, the head Of an idea that had
to do with the teaching Of a mental
healing of physical LESSONS, met at
Lynn. Mass. to organize by resolution
the first Christian Science association.
Thirty-one years later, in June 1906,
from all over the world came Christian
Scientists to dedicate in Boston the
most pretentious religious edifce in
New England and one Of the most
coctly in the United States, the moth
er church" at Boston.
Out Of that little meeting in Lynn
has grown an institution which stats
tics Of last year show that in the
United States there were 66S Christian
Science churches, and also churches in
Italy. France. Great Britain. Canada
and British Columbia, Norway, Swift.
zerland, India China, South Africa,
Australia and many other countries
Also in the United States were 1886
Christian Science readers and S5,O96
communicates. All these churches and
the churches in foreign countries are
the result of the thinking of the deli.
cate. religious little farm girl and all
are branches of the mother church at
Boston. This great growth has result
ed in spite of the adverse attitude Of
the world and the criticisms of the
newspapers.

PRIMARY LAW QUESTION FOR
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

The semi-fnal announcement from
CONGRESSMAN Glass, Of Lynchburg,
that he will be a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for L. 5.
Senator to succeed Maj Daniel, which
nosition Ex-Governor Swanson no"
holds by virtue of Gov. Mann's az
pointment. doubtless means that
there will also be a candidate IN next
wears primary against Senator Mar
tin as Mr.. Glass would hardly have
chosen this far ahead to announce
himself a candidate against Swans n
unless he was assured that someon'
else was already scheduled t. fight
Martin. - The Lynchburg congress
man like almost everyone else IN tht
State is anxious to see the primary
legalized and be is in favor OF an
extra session for this purpose. In
his desire for Equalization Of the
urinary ne is in accord with ma
jority of the Democrats " this STATE
but we believe that such is not the
case IN regard to the extra session.
OF course Mr.. Glass wants a legal
lied primary as he is to run for Sen
ator but the matter Of the momlna-
ton of one or both Senator'S IS not
important enough in our opinion TO
warrant the expenditure Of several
hundred thousand dollarsatthis tine.
In lieu of such session We stu
maintain that it would be best for
the party to adopt the convention
plan. and then let the convention
officially adopt the primary PLAN
such as that embraced in the original
bill offered by Speaker Byrd at the
last session of the General Assembly.
No Democratic Legislature could
then afford to ignore the mandate OF
its party council. Without such man
date the present General Assembly,
whose refusal to adopt a primary
law at the last session has placed Us
in the present position, if called in
extra session might still refuse. in
spite of public sentiment, to enact
such a law, and the State would have
spent its money for nothing. Nh.
Glass can hardly make the failure Of
the Assembly to enact primary law
an issue against Gov. Swanson, be-
cause he is doubtless as much IN favor
of law of this kind as is Mr.. Glass.

Death was due TO an attack OF pneu-

Increase Of the Navy.

The department recommends the
authorization of the following add
tons to the naval establishment for
the coming fiscal year: Two battle
ships. one collier. one gunboat one
river gunboat, two seagolng tugs
two submarines and one submarine
tender. The department invites atten
ton to the fact that 1t is more con
cerned to build new vessels than to
continually repair those which have
outlived their usefulness. The depart
ment therefore recommends the con
struction of gunboats each year until
the existing vessels Of that class are
replaced"
