Eddy at Bow.
On July 10th the thought of hun­
dreds of thousands of earnest Chris-
thin people will turn in loving mem­
ory toward the little town of Bow,
New Hampshire, where one hundred
years ago was liorn the child who la­
ter became known to the world as
Mary linker Eddy, the founder and
(IHuatverer of the most remarkable
of all mbilern spiritual movements.
A few years ago a writer In a gieut
London magazine, when commenting
on Mrs. Eddy's “strength of character
mingled with extraordinary tender­
ness for humanity,” said her “one par-
a iiio m it impulsion has ever been the
good of mankind.''
IVlille only the solier estimate of
posterity can rigidly estimate the
work of tin* human figures that pass
across Hie world stage, the world Is
now Inclined to accept till* view of
some of Its more thoughtful leaders
that among the great and goisl women
of history, none will have a more en
during plid'e than .Mary Baker Eddy.
Born of sturdy Scotch-English an­
cestry. her forbears were among those
wlio carved the mighty American na­
i l * . a oiil of tile wilderness. Appar­
ently of Hint high type of character
which with deliberation chooses the
spiritual tilings of life, Mrs. Eddy
blazed a pathway of light along which
have traveled with Joy ami gratitude
millions of human beings. At an age
when the average person counts tils
best work finished, Mrs. Eddy began
her greatest effort, and unlike other
spiritual lenders of history, she lived
to see her teaching* established as a
recognised Inllueuce for good In the
world.
Mrs. Eddy's ancestry Includes some
of the most distinguished families of
England mid Scotland. A direct an­
cestor was a daughter of n king of
Scot hind, and so her line Is connected
W illi Hie present royal bouse of Great
Britain, mid thus according to some
authorities, straight hack to David
king of Israel.
It was on February 4, lsild. nt
Swampscott, near l.ynn, Mass., that
Mrs. Eddy experienced a remarkable
spiritual healing from the effects of a
fall which had been pronounced fatal.
This experience, with further Scrip
II I ml study, led to her discovery that
all c m is a tlo ti Is mind and all effect*
mental phenomena, and that there Is
a definite spiritual law which, under
stood, governs all human affair*. Sla
spent the next nine years In working
out, proving, and teaching the truth
uf Iter discovery, mid then published
her hook, “Science and Health,'' In
1875. In .lime of the smile year she
opened regular services at her home
hi Lynn, and gave to the little group
who thi^e worshipped with her, the
m ini**
“Christian Sclent 1st*." T h e s e
students couiinenrcd il l once to prac­
tice Christian Science healing, and
from Hint day to this the healing of
the sick and the regenerating of the
sinful have constituted the practical
ministry of Christian Science. In
June. 1878, Mrs. Eddy began her
Christian Science work In Boston, and
<ai ,'alrlols' day, April til, IST'.l, she
formnlly organized the Hrst Christian
Selene»* church which she declared
was “designed to commemorate the
word ami works of our Master, which
vhoiild reinstate primitive Christianity
and Ita lost element of healing.“
There followed the establishment of
a college for the teaching of the new
Selene«*, mid III 1 881 the publication
of Hie first of tho liilbienthil period­
icals which have helped so tretnen
dowdy to spread the teachings of
Christ h ili Science.
Tin years after
founding her ehurrh In Boston, Mrs.
Eddy returned to het native stole of
New llmnpshlre and established her
home nt Concord, almost within sight
of her ctdldhissl h<sue at Bow.
Then followed a- perlisl of almost
twenty years of retirement at her
lienullfiil estate. “Pleasant View ”
There her time nnd thought were glv
en to further spiritual research mid
plan* for the further extension of the
great religious Movement site had es
tsbllshed anti In which she held the
honored title of t'nsfor Knierim».
Perhaps her most Important accom­
pli slimeiit during this period was the
development of • code of rule* to
I
govern the members of her church
and to provide for Its orderly and con­
tinuous extension. These rules or
“hy-luws,” together with certuln other
Important matter, are coutulned in
the church “Manual." The provisions
of (Ids “Manual" ure Jealously guard­
ed by Christian Scientists because
they consider that It embodies the es­
sential requirements for guiding them
¡licit viduully and collectively and In­
suring the ultimate understanding aud
acceptance of Christian Science by
the world at large. In fact, some
Christian Scientists believe that this
inuiiuiil Is designed to identify and
protect the progressive minority In
each successive stage of the develop­
ment ot the church body and to stlm-
uliite the more rapid unfoldment of
each advancing footstep In the line of
spiritual evolution.
Some also be­
lieve that u system that will Insure
l he successful accomplishment of
these results when honestly and Intel­
ligently applied to a collective body
or community, tneuns fur more than
ut Hrst appears on the surfuce; In
fact, that Mrs. Eddy huai evolved a
scientific system which will ultimately
affect all human government uud or­
ganization und Insure the world's
progress on a definite und practical
basis by Impelling the more rapid
dawn of each succeeding stage of pro­
gressive unfoldment and the elimina­
tion of the long and hitter struggles
which Inive always obstructed human­
ity's advancing footsteps.
In the 42 years since her first church
was organized, Mrs. Eddy's teachings
have spread throughout the world,
through approximately two thousond
distinct organizations, nnd have be­
come a powerful Influence In the lives
of millions of people. The Christian
Science publications. Including the
Christian Science Monitor, a dully
newspaiier of universally recognized
excellence. curry
their
messages
throughout the world.
The earthly pilgrimage of fhe ven­
erable Founder of this great religious
movement emne to a close on Decem­
ber 3, 11110, und on that occasion a|e
peared In the press of the world a re­
markable tribute to the work of this
great religious figure. Agreement or
disagreement with her teachings had
nothing to do apparently with the sin­
cere appreciation expressed on every
hand that this gentle American worn
an laid lifted up a standard of conduct
and character that had worked vastly
la the Improvement of the moral stan­
dards of the world. As an indication
of the estimate In which she was heil
by those who knew her best, the city
council of her home city. Concord. N.
II., on this occasion passed a formal
resolution declaring “that by the death
of the Rev. Mary Baker Eddy the
world has suffered an Irreparable loss
and the citizens of Concord the loss
of an honored nnd a devoted friend of
our city whose motto was ‘to Injure
no man, hut to bless all mankind.' “
Thnt the citizenship of Mary Baker
Eddy was of a high order may per­
haps be glcam-d from a sentence pub­
lished In a Boston paper many years
ago when Mrs. Eddy was asked for
her pollih-nl lieliefs: “I have none In
reality, other than to help support a
righteous government, to love Hod su­
premely, and my neighbor as myself.”
When one has climbed the green-
clad hills of Bow rising from the beau­
tiful waters of the Merrimack, he
reaches the rolling uplands where
stood the Baker homestead. Marking
the birthplace today, like a silent. Im­
movable sentinel, stands a great gran­
ite pyramid memorial hewn from the
largest block of granite ever quarried
In New I tmvpshlre. It seems to ap­
propriately symbolise the life work
•>f Mary Baker Eddy which Christian
Scientists I «>11 eve to have Ixs'n the dis­
covery that principle Is Ood and that
Christianity ami Science are In reality
hlentlml. On one of the bronze tab-,
lets on this memorial appear the*«
words, quoted from Mrs. Eddy» writ­
ings :
“This truth la the rock which the
builders rejected, hut ‘the same ts he-
<Suiie the head of the corner.’ This
is the chief corner stone, the basis
and support of creation, the Intorpre
ter of one God, the infinity and unity
of good.”

Money Ready in Nov.
This action » u s taken by the State j
Bonus Comission 111 order to save
considerable time in getting the bon­
us and loan Into the hands.of the ex-
service men. The initial bond issue
of $5,000,000 already Is being floated
Bids are to be opened October 10th
and the Commission expects to have
money ready by November 1st.
By having the applications corns
in early the Commission hopes to
have a large i\umber of checks ready
for distribution the moment the
funds are realized from the sale of
bonds. Slept have been taken by the
Commission to interest the bond buy­
ing market of the United States. The
Bonds are to be sold at par or above
and not to exceed six per cent inter­
est and the Commission expects to
sell at an interest rate of above five
and one-half per cent.
Commission Getting Busy
The administrative force to handle
this big task of passing upon appli­
cations has already been created in
the U. S. National Bank Bldg, at
Salem, headed by Harry C. Brum­
baugh, an overseas (veteran. Tho
necessary funds for an energetic ad­
ministration of the law have also
been provided. Commissioners say
that the loan feature, which appeals
to a m ajority,of the ex-service men,
necessarily w ill be a slower process
but that the Commission will con­
tinue to follow Its past policy of
avoiding any und all avoidable de
layrt.
Only an unexpected suit to test the
constitutionality of the law will now
prevent payment of several thousand
clulms in November. Such a suit
has not been launched by Commis­
sioners because of their belief in th-
constitutionality of the law am
failure of the bonds to sell alon<
might make such a suit necessary.

sion and these may be seen at oir
