MRS. BAKER'S CHRISTIAN
SCIENCE.

Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Eddy.
the high muckety-muck of the
Christian Science Church, has been
stared ut by unfeeling and disre-
spectful persons. The matter has
disturbed her so much and given
her 50 much uneasiness of mind
that she has issued bull or decree
in which a new bylaw has been add
ed to the rules and regulations OF
the Christian Science Church The
new bv-law has been affording a
much amusement to those who are
not acquainted with or do not be-
lieve The doctrines of the Christian
Church as it has interested the faith
full members of that denomination
Here is the now bylaw in all its
bcauteous simplicity and soulful
logic which the high priestess deems
to couple with the regulations of a
religious denomination:
.'Neither Christian Scientist
his student. nor his patient. not
member of the mother church, shall
daily and continuously haunt Mrs.
Eddy's drive by meeting her once
or more every day when she goes out,
on penalty of being disciplined and
dealt with justly by her church.
"Mrs. Eddy objects to such intru-
sion. inasmuch as she desires one
hour for herself. And she, who for
10 years has borne the burden and
the heat of tho day. should be al
lowed this. The only exception to
this bylaw is on public occasions
when She has the privilege of seeing
others and of being seen.
