formerly in harmony with what 10 known AZ 'no
Eddy school, but long ago there came a breach
The pJunkett wing was then located in chi
caeo. but removed recently TO this city. IL Is
said by outside observers that the Plunketcs
have represented as large and respectable
following among Christian Scientists as Mrs.
Eddy herself. But the latter has, according 10
tho statement of Mr.. Bailey, repeatedly de-
pounced Mrs. Plunkett a. an unprncipled pre-
tender to the name Scientist ;" This was done
NOT only over Mrs. Eddys own signature, but
in the columns Of "The Christian science
Journal.D the authorized official organ OF the
Scientists Association" This being So ana
Mrs Eddy being the recognized ~" teacher ana
founder, of Christian Science, whose Woras
are recognized by many as OF equal authority
with the Bible it might have been expected
that Mrs. Plunkett would be bighted, ruined
and obliterated by this accommodation. But
on the contrary, it has not prevented her from
establishing herself in the profitable business
NJ healing in New-York in conjunction with
her husband We refer to the gentleman who
recently resigned that position, and whose
resignation, rendered in writing, was formally
accepted Nor did il prevent them from eStae-
fishing a magazine of their own. Not having
been in the habit of reading 10, we cannot soy
whether the Punketts have been excOmmuni-
eating the Eddys in return for the excommni-
cation by the Eddys Of the Plunketts, but 1t
must be apparent that the multiplication Of
business establishments engaged in denouncing
each other as frauds and Of magazines claim
ing Divine right TO excOmmunicate rival editors,
must tend to confusion and diScord in the ranks
of Christian Science.
In the immediate future however, ID is safe
10 say that the Plunkett magazine will be
more interesting publication, and will have a
larger temporary increase Of circulation than
the Eddy magazine. 1t seems that we are TO
have full explanation Of the Plunkctt- Worth
ington marriage from the point Of view OF
Christian Science. The Plunkett magazine an
nounces that "a matter Of vital gravity rela-
tive TO the Science has come before the public"
of which they will give full account next
month. Meantime, let us all bc slow in judg-
ment, remembering that all great discoveries
and reforms were, FIRST, private opinions sec
ond, little group of believers; third, target
for misrepresentation and abuse, and lastly, an
accomplished fact" II will take o very special
inspiration 10 demonstrate all this with regard
to the action Of Mrs Plunkett and her now hus-
hand. But we are inclined to think that they
exaggcrate the importance Of tho whole matter
II is one OF vital gravity" in ono sense, but
chiefly to themselves, and it is to be regretted
that tho authorities do not seem to feel sure
that they can take such action as would cause
them to realize just how grave it is.
