MRS. EDDY REPLIES T0 ”ARK TW MN. [Publisheddw request] New York liculd. In answer to criticisms by Mark Twain, Mrs. Mary Baker 6.1321(1) makes the following statement: It is a fact, well understood, that I begged the students who ‘ first gave me the endearing ap- pellative “mother" not to name me thus. But without my consent thatqword spread, like wildfire. I still must think the name is not applicable to me. I stand in. re- lation to this century, as a Chris- tian discoverer, founder, and leader. I regard self deiticatiom as blasphemous; I may be more loved, but I am less landed, pam- pered, provided for, and cheered, than others before meâ€"and where- fore? Because Christian Science, . is not vet popular, and I refuse adulation. My first visit to the Mother / Church after it was built and ded- icated pleased me, and the situa- tion was satisfactory. The dear members wautwl to wed me with escort. and the ringing of hells, but I declined. and went alone in my ('nrringe to thI- ('iIIIrch.

Jesus taught and p'roved that what feeds a few feeds all. His life-iork'anbordiuated the material to the spiritual, and he left this legacy of 'truth to mankind. Bin metaphysics is not the sport of philosophy, teligion, or Science, rather is it the pith and finale of them all.

To the °E(litor:>~Mark Twain'sl greatest misfortune is that he feels compelled io sustain his rep- utation as a wit, a humorist, a very fnnnv fellow.
