THE DIsCOvEHi5R \ WOMAN

Occasionally one hrars this ques-
tion asked, "Why should a woman
have been the discoycrer Of an eternal
TRUTH" The most effective answer to
this query may be obtained i'm book
entitled, "Thc Life Of Mary Baker
/ Eddy" by Sibyl Wilbur. This work
| Is an authentic record Of Mrs. Ediy's
career and It may be found in most
public Libraries and in every Christian
/ Science free reading room. When you
read I'm the Life Of Mrs Eddy Of her
( and dis.ouraging formative period in
the establishment Of the cause Of
I Christian Science, when you read Of
/ her prosecutions, how she was ridi-
culed and rcviled and urged TO drop
the nonsense" as it was called, you
viii see that the leader Of this move
ment had 10 DE a woman, had TO pos
sess the instinct Of the mother who
clings 10 her child when all others
/ forsake #; and 10 be endued with the
f1rtitude and faith and perseverance
which are the inherent possessions Of
a spiritually-mind woman!
I shall not attempt TO speak for any
man other than myself. but ! shall
tell you very frankly why l did not
discover Christian Science. It was
because 1 did not know enough: was
not possessed Of sufficient spiritual
mindedness, because ! did not search
the Scriptures, yearn and pray for
light as did this deyout woman. In
fact until beginning the study OF
Christian Science, II was not my habit
to indulge in any deep thinking along
religious lines, l accepted the in
herited dOctrinal teachings Of ms
church very much as ! accepted my

Little hope is seen in the possibility

the Allies to exagerate the Importance
OF possible consequences.
Austria has allies who could easily
