69/77 Whether the portrait was there four years ago or not, it is not there now, for I have inquired. The only object in the shrine now, and lit by electrics--and worshiped--is an oil-portrait of the horse-hair chair Mrs.Eddy used to sit in when she was writing Science and Health! It seems to me that adulation has struck bottom, here. She has been there, she has seen it, she has seen the worshippers. She could abolish that sarcasm with a word. |
