the cause of the departure from this

WtfW ' '"'"1
MRS. MARY BAKER EDDY,
died on August 2S, was one of the
most prominent Christian Scloulls'ta
in Great Britain.
When attacks were made on Mrs.
Eddy by her "next friends," who
sought to prove that she was Incom
petent to manage her affairs, the
nobleman was one of the stanchest
supporters of her cause. Ho had
contributed large sums of money to
the upbuilding In England of the
cult to which he was a devoted ad
herent. The Countess of Dunmore Is
as earnest a follower of the precepts
of Mrs. Eddy as was her husband.

where she will make her home for
several months nt a time in order to
be near Mrs. Eddy, who resides at
Concord, N. II. The Countess came
