REMUNERATION OF MRS. EDDY
Former Leader Declares Church

Grossly Exaggerated.

Officers of the First Church of Christ,
Scientist in Richmond, yesterday declined

son, denouncing Mrs. Mary Baker Ed3y,
but intimated that a formal reply wot.la

the city, and could not be reached.
Mr.. Pierson, who WAS formerly a MEM
Der of the Christian Science Publication
Committee for Virginia, SAYS that after
ihree years of exhaustive STUDY and pfaf-
tice of Christian Science, he has come
to the conclusion that Mrs. Eddy is
posing under false colors. She is n3t
the discoverer of Christian Science. For
years she herself acknowledged Quimby,
of Maine, us the discoverer, and Only
4 tnrned him down when she determined u
found church OF her own"
II is 10 her ambitions desire for tenn
poral glory and power that Mr.. Piersol

Her church Is founded on lie, and

Mr.. Pierson declares that the grow
