Mrs. Kddy had thus hocomo tho
discoverer of Christian Science, nnd
the founding of Its Institutional work
was to follow. In her Joy to shnro
such n great blessing she appealed
to the spiritual thought of lenrued
men, only to stirrer tho rebuff of
dignified 'silence. Her first ray or
hopo cnuio when that bIIoiico wns
turned into ildlculo nnd abuse; for
It meant that she had gained nt lenst

relatives and opposed by subtlo
nnd powerful Influences whlcbover

the various Institutions of Christian
Silence, until the movement bus

seems Incredible to hltn thnt Jesus
could, by nn opposite method, exhibit

him to chnnge his course. The phil
