ton can show such development in
SO brief period. And its growth and
development has been dominated al
most solely by Mrs. Eddy. She has
founded or instituted every depart
ment of the work of the Christian
Science denomination. Her sway has
been absolute. Her dictum has been
accepted by the members of this
church in much the same way as the
infallibility of the Pope of Rome on
questions of morals and religion is
recognized by the Roman Catholics of
the world.
It is these things that have
stamped Mary Baker Glover Eddy as
a wonderful woman. The denomina-
ton she has established has no creed.
Its religious beliefs are based on Mrs.
Eddy's interpretation of the Scriptures.
Whether it will continue to grow and
develop without her guiding hand, a
rule that admitted of no appeal, re-
mains to be seen. At any rate. it is
one of the strong religious denomina-
lions of today. And it's creation and
development is the work of a woman,
a woman undeniably great. even if
her doctrines are not acceptable to
every one.

MRS. EDDY.

In the death of Mrs. Mary Baker
Glover Eddy there passes away one

only of this, but also of other days.
This much will have to be conceded
even by those who are entirely out of
sympathy with the principles of the
Christian Science which she has pro-
mulgated.
Here was a slip of a woman, frail
of body, with no unusual endowments
in the way of an education, living a
rather usual sort of a life for almost
the first fifty years of it; who estab-

voices in all parts of the world. II
was only little over thirty years ago
that she established the First Chris
tian Science Church at Boston, Mass.
Now there are branches of this church
all over the world. In 1907, the last
date of the statistics of this church
which are at hand, there were 702 OF
them, as we'll as 294 Christian Science
societies not yet organized as churches
Since that period the growth of this
sect has been large. 1t is safe to as

How a Child's Mind Works.

When child shows an absorbing
devotion to an object which has moth
ing to do with his entertainment or
comfort, how is his mind working?
What does the object represent to
him? 1t has come, by some strange
process of babyish reasoning, to stand
for supreme beauty, and when he goes
further and for the sake of the OBJ
ject will endure hardship and venture
danger, isn't the child in the position
of the savage in regard to his fetch
May not his devotion be called the
stirring of the religious instinct?
These reflections are prompted by
the behavior of a little boy 2 years

The visitor acquitted father of any

shoes, and the baby drew away again.
After a brief interval he came back.

carefully and then again went away,

The mother explained that new
shoes and stockings were the child's

This has been the regular naval pro-
