of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, issued
a statement this evening in the mature
OF reply to various allegations in the
hill of equity which has been brought
against trustees and directors of the
Christian Science Church by relatives
of Mrs. Eddy, with the view Of obtain
ing an accounting of funds. The state
ment follows:
"Early Saturday morning I sent to
Mrs. Eddy a copy OF the bill in equity
as published. but not yet served upon
any of the defendants, 30 far as am
informed. I have since had a long
personal conference with her. at which
this proceeding and matters connected
Herewith were fully discussed.

these proceedings was not taken by
her son or other relatives, but by oth-
ers, who in markedly unusual man

taking under the guise OF court pro-
ceedings to continue the persecution
begun some time ago
Mind Not Impaired.
