MRS. EDDY AND MC CLURE'S

Editor

Concord (N. H.) Daily Patriot

Because of the wide circulation given McClure's Magazine, and the general concern manifested in its attempt to write the biography of the Founder of Christian Science and the history of the Christian Science religion, all will be interested in reading the communication that appears to-day in The Patriot and in the other papers of the State and of the country, from Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy's own pen. The communication speaks for itself, and therein and thereby, more clearly and impressively than in any other way, is the fact revealed that Mrs. Eddy is in good health and that she is in full and complete possession of all her faculties.

No other person than Mrs. Eddy could have written the communication as it is written. The little details of early life, so clearly set forth, could not be chronicled by any other. The closest friend and associate of childhood days does not and cannot recall the many incidents in the life of another, trifling as they must necessarily seem to him or her, and yet these things stamp themselves indelibly on the mind and memory of the child itself. They cannot be found in books. They constitute no part of history or biography, and only when blind guesses and conjectures as to early habits are made by outsiders are they recalled even by those most interested.

In the light of this communication over Mrs. Eddy's own signature, obstinate or obtuse indeed is the mind that will longer give credence to the canard in the New York World or to the sensational exploitations of McClure's.
