It was after this period of her life that aho resumed with increased interest her study of Christian Science, working with her aunt, Mrs Ruth Ewing, wife of Judg-e Wjllism G. Ewing, of Chicago. Continuing he-r studies she completed the prescribed course at the newly established college of Christian Science In Boston. Returning to Bloomlngton Mrs. MacMahon assumed the active duties of her professional calling and soon gathered around herself a large following Perhaps to her 'nfluenee more than to any other sin-sle factor is due the successful establishing of the Christian Scclence organization in this city.

Her njlnej was brilliant even to genius. Sue could grasp with an understanding thai was lai beyond the average feminine cu-pac'ty.

the whole breadth of anv mental problem with which she bad to deal. Keen ami incisive was her intellectual insight, arid logical find correct were the conclusions which she reached in her mental processes. Her determination to grow from year. to yenr in attainment bore its fruit in ripe scholarship which maikeei her among all her acfiunlntances as one whose word bore the stamp of authority. In those finer womnnly qualities Mrs.

MacMahon' was the highest type of mother and the truest end most valued of friends, The. earlier of her tvi daughters was c.irect-ed wi'b a personal oversight which ires rare today as it is 'fruitful in the clipping of true types young womanhood. The advice which fhe gave to mining friends, drawn from hr own great soul pud hr own marvelot intellectual experiences, was a benefaction with which naught else on earth I'ould compare.
