Mr*. Stetson has the complete
support of her whole following to
New York City and they are unani

The material heads of the moth

come for ten years, but it will sure
ly come, and its. coming wil lbe hast
ened if an attempt is made to change
the rule of Christian Science as it
appears in. the , manual of the
church."
This open declaration of belief in
the immortality of Mrs. Eddy has
(Aused the greatest religious sensa
i?cn of a decade. Her opponents are
already rallying to depute hor claim
of leadership by repudiating the doc
trine of the resurrection as she
has set It forth.
To do this they present the writ
ings of Mrs. Eddy herself. In an
Interview given out by Alfred Far

tee of the Christian Science Chnrch,

"In her own writings Mrs. 'Eddy
expressed herself as , inexplicably
