MIS-. EDDE SAYS STOP.
Christian Scientists Are Forbidden to
Send Her Holiday Gifts.

Boston, Dec. 29.-The burden of ac-
knowIedging congratulatOry messages
and gifts on Christmas and other times
has grown orerous, Mrs. Mary 9. Ba-
ker Eddy has placed a bar to them, The
new rule in the bylaws Of the Christian
Science church will save its head much
time and her followers much expense.
The new section is added to section 4
of article XXI, which is entitled: Duty
of God" and reads:
Members of this church who turn
their attention from the divine being
to personality, sending gifts, congratu-
latory dispatches, or letters to the pas
tor emeritus on Thanksgiving, Christ
mas, New Year Or Easter break a
rule of this church and are amenable
therefor
In some quarters outside Of ranks Of
Christian Scientists this rule has been
interpreted as aiming to discourage
gift giving generally among the people
of this belief. Alfred FarloW, head Of
the Christian Science publication COM
mittee and former president of the
mother church, disclaimed this mean
ms.
7 do not understand the bylaw ap-
plies to Christian Scientists exchang-
ing gifts among themselves or with
other friends" he said. so far as 1
know, it means simply what it says,
that members of the church are not to
send messages and gifts to Mrs. Eddy.

ment was given out that the trouble
was due to the failure of member Of

INDIANA NEGROES.

the Grace war; started.

Mr.. Query simply allowed himself

support him. The guileless Query
made the mistake of not hauling
