phenomenon." K should be noted that
in this statement ilr. Eddy capitalizes
the word Mind thus making H synony
nous with deity and thus designating
the divine Mind as the only cause or
creator. It follow, in her philosophy,
that the universe is in reality spiritual
though it does not so appear to our
present immature apprehension. Chris
tian Seleuce thrtu bases its entire modus
operandi upon the proposition that God
U the only real Mind. In Christian
; .Science it in maintained that through the
realization of tbe supremacy of the di
vine Mind healing i effected eve as
light itispel the darkness, ou the Wis
that light is real while darkness i un
real and therefore cannot remain in its
presence. Thus it is that in Christian
Scicuee healing there U no pretence of
human force, but rather a yielding of
human will to the divine. j
History declares that from early child
hood Mrs. Eddy had been spiritually in
clined and that even in her youthful days
she was interested in de p, religious
subject and philo-onhie studv. One who
i knew her well in her girlhood ha4 re-
ferred to her gift of expres-ion as yery
marked, and that she often conversed
with her pastor upon subjects which
were too deep for him to follow. jllcr
Mierior ability, ber breadth and inde
pendence of though, and her spiritual
mindedness, wew all prophetic of jthat
eminence as a teacher, an organizer; and
a leader to which she has attained, and
to those who have followed the course
of events in te advance of the Christian
Science movement. Mrs. Eddy's far-see-ing
wisdom, initiative insight and execu
tive ability have become more and more
impressive.
The original "Mother Church" which
adjoins the new building seats about
1200, and yet .three Sunday services are
required to accommodate the attendance.
It i- said that when this edifice was
planned some of the members were dis
turlied on account of its size. Thcv
1
j thought htat the provision of . so large
un auditorium was entirely uncalled for.
the atendanee at that time being only
about 550.
Mrs. Eddy organized t lie First Church
of Christ, Scientist in lioston in 1ST!'
with twenty ix members. So slow was
the growth of the movement at first
that in 18VJ, ten years later, there were
only eleven churches. From that time,
however, the growth was more rapid. In
lS!m, there were .".01 churches. At the
present time, 1000. there are G57 churches
and 257 societies and not yet organized
as efmivhes, making 932 Societies holding
church service. In 1883 there were
only 450 members in the entire connec
tion. In 1804 the total membership was
2530. Five years later it had reached
18,134. These figures (show that the
principal growth has taken place during
the past seven years. The membership
at the present time is about 72,000, but
that there ai multitudes interested in
the movement outside of the actual
church membership is evidenced by the
large attendance at the Christian Science
service, and the fact that nearly 400.000
copies of the Christian Science text
book are at present in circulation.
Christian Scientists ar particularly
careful to deny the allegation that their
attitude toward Mrs. Eddy is other than
that of grateful and loving recognition
of their debt to her and respect for her
undoubted ability. In a recent letter
to the directors of the Mother Church.
Mr. Eddy herself says "Now it the
time to throttle the lie that students
wor-hip me, or that I claim their hom
age." In keeping with this thought
Mrs. Eddy issued the following state
ment, which appeared in the Christian
Science Sentinel of April 28, 1900.
"To the beloved members of my
VATICAN OPPOSES BOOK
BECAUSE OF PLAGIARISM
Leading Rome Journal Tells of the
Condemned Book.
ROME, dune 10, The Corriere delta
Sera publishes from its correspondent,
who is generally well informed in mat
ters concerning the Vatican, it statement
which, if correct would throw some light
on the mystery of the condemnation of
Signor Koguwtaro's novel, "II Santo."
The decision to condemn this Umk cer
tainly required tomo explanation, in view
of the apparent tolerance shown, not so
much by the delay of its final condemna
tion, for the machinery of the congrega
tion of the index always works slowly,
as by the good humored comments of
event the most uncompromising organs
of Catholic opinion when it first appear
ed. That it would be denounced to the
Congregation of the Index was, of course,
a foregone conclusion.
But no one was prepared to believe j
that it would be condemned, or that the I
author, who has been always a staunch
champion of his church, would 1 numb-red
among the enemies of the faith
on account of a work so sincere and
apparently so harmless in chancier. The
hook was, ncertheless, put on the index!
and what bus caused still greater sensa
tion and surprise to hi friends, the au
thor, Sign or Kogujuuiro, after n period
of silence, has published his submission
to the decree and proi'ifd his complete
obedience to the Congregation of the
Index,
The tKsenatoic Itomuno accounts for
the action of the Congregation in an
article which, if it is intended to repre
sent official views, mot Miivefiillv
hides them iu a mate of feeble criticism
and incoherent rhetoric. The gist of bis
remarks seems to Iw that, the author of
11 Santo" was nit unfortunate, ignorant
and misguided person, who might buve
been ignored if he had not drawn the
attention and shocked the conscience of
the faithful majority. Hut the 0cr
tutor lionntno gives 110 specific reason
for the actual condemnation.
The isirresKtmlciit of the Corriere dellu
Sera suggests a very different tvtiise, lb
says tbnt Sigtior I'ogiiKaro has !een
accused iu the Vatican, whether lightly
or wrongly he doc not know, of having
translated into Italian a well known
brochure which was published by the
Corriere dell Sera, entitled "Confident iul
Letters to 11 rrofeoi- of Anthropology."

A eaual observer cannot fail to ree-
ogni.e that to t'.ie 1c ill of Mrs. Kddy
as an organizer and to hep genius as a
religious leader is due the present im
petus of the Christian Science move
ment, and the completion of the splendid
edifice dedicated in Boston today, may
be counted among her most brilliant
achievements, for the funds which were
thus exiM-ndeil have Wn given as an
expression of appreciation and love for
her no les than in recognition of the
needs of this great movement, the credit
foe the initiation and successful guidance
of which is due thi- remarkable woman.
It has been said that the Christian
Science denomination is made up largely
of recruits rescued from the grave, a
very large percentage of Christian
Scientist converts having become inter
ested on account of the healing benellis
which they have rec-ived. In fact, Chri
tiau Science has drawn its adherents
from all clue, the clergy ami medical
fraternity included. Scareely a village
or town can be found which has not a
band of Christian Scientist, and hardly
an individual who has not some friend
or relative that has lx-i-ii a beneficiary
of it.
So numerous have Christian Scientists
become within tho last few vears that
public criticism of its teachings can no
longer be indulged in without awaking
prompt protest. The street-car and the
railway coach- may contain an ardent
believer, and the dissenter frequently
meets a prompt but kindly challenge
when he makes statements derogatory to
the cause or its Leader. Two young
Mies- on the front seat of an open street
car having just passed the Christian
Science church in Boston, quite naturally
began to speak on the subject of Chris
tian Science, and it was noticed that a
gentleman in the same -eat began to
move about uneasily as the conversation
was more orless uncomplimentary. At
length he leaned over and said to the
ladies: "I trust you will pardon the in
terruption of a stranger but I cannot re
frain fro mtelling you that more than
fifteen years ago, after having lost nil,
hopes of recovery, I was healed of con
sumption through Christian Science, and
this to me is the strongest possible argu
ment in its favor." The fair clitics look
ed up in surprise at the strong, athletic
man and speedily expressed a more con
siderate attitude of thought. ' '
Not long since two gentlemen entered
a railway coach. One of them was de
nouncing Christian Science in a heated
manner. Ily artd by bis friend left the
train, and a Christian Scientist who had
overheard the conversation politely oc
cupied the vacant seat and lcgan to
speak of some of the benefits which he
had observed in connection with Chris
tian Science treatment. The critic at
once changed his tone and began to refer
to benefits which be too had observed.
This incident serves to suggest that
which fosters and perpetuates the ap
parently unabating interest in the Chris
tian Science movement. Whether or not
we are ready to endorse Christian
propagation is follow. d by good icsiilts;
1 that Christian Siciitists arc an iniiisiiul
