Decision Against Christian Scien-
fists.

Philadelphia, May 4.-The Pennsyl-
Vanta supreme court today affirmed a
ruling of the late Judge Arnold, in
which the latter refused to charter a
Christian Science Association. Judge
Arnold referred the application for a
charter to a master who after a hear
ing recommended that the charter be
refused on the ground that 1T would
be injurious to the community to in
corporate a group of citizens who
would preach the doctrine that there is
no such thing as a contagious disease
or any disease and practice the art of
curing of what are called Contagious
diseases by inaudible prayer whether
in the presence of the sick or at a dis
t3nCe.'
The masters opinion was endorsed
by Judge Arnold. who filed an opin-
ion refusing the charter on the ground
that the purpose of the association as
disclosed was improper and in viola
ton of the laws intended to prevent
the practice of medicine by non-QuaU-
fed persons. The supreme court TO-
day upheld this view and quashed the
appeal.
