sistently prevented any other persons, even her relatives, from having any but momentary interviews with her, that Mir. Glover had not been able to test his fears by any prolonged visit. He and his daughter, however, on Jan uary ?. were permitted to see Mrs. Eddy for three quarters of an hour, and the result of that intervieiw was to con firm their apprehensions and to con- vince them that she was not capable of doing any business.
 She was weak bodily and her mind was beclouded and enfeebled and pos sessed by strange and irrational no- tions. It was clear to them that, if not insane, her mental 1aculties were so far impaired that she could not at tend to financial affairs nor give any intelligent direction to any business of hers which might be of any import anee.
 Various incidents connected with their stay and facts which they learn ed from several sources tended to strengthen these conclusions as to Mrs. Eddy's incapacity for business. MT. Glover and his daughter further learn ed that Mrs. Eddy's secular business in stead of decreasing with growing old age, seemed to be larger than eyer. She is still president of the Metaphysi- cal College of Healing, and stays at the head of the body of 3400 practising headers. although she does not person. ally give treatment.
 "Copyrights of Science and Heath which is book of enormous sale, still stands in her name, while all the other copyrights of Christian Science books and weekly, monthly and quarterly periodicals, are in her name.
 "She retains her name as head of the Mother church at Boston, with 40O00 members and an immense income.
 From all that could be learned it seemed to MT. Glover certain that the income from all these sources must be vast-all gathered in by reason of the use of Mrs. Eddy's name, raised large ly by active movements. nominally headed by her, and to much of which she must be personally entitled
 Tt was clear that as Mrs Eddy could not personally do anything about this enormous business, carried on by her authority and much of it in her name, necessarily it was all conducted by the various persons surrounding her at Concord, and in charge of affairs at Boston, who were not under any real responsibility to her for what they were doing.
 Therefore, MT Glover, after consult ing with counsel. came to the conclu- sion that it was his duty to his mother { to take action for the protection of her property interests. He did not make a nasty decision but gave long and full consideration to the situation. At last he was advised that eduity courts have authority to take charge of the property of enfeebled persons i l!laa Mrs. Eddy andtto see that those having 1t in their control do not mis- manage. 1t or convert any of it to their own use, and that anlequity suit might be brought against them in Mrs. Eddy's name by her son, her relatives of any degree, or by any good citizen willing to act as her next friends for this pur- pose.
 MT. Glover's suItwin equity is not conceived in any spirit of disrespect or unl1indness to his mother. Mrs. Eddy, but it is intended and believed to be a proceeding for her real interest; nor is it directed against the religion of the Christian Science It merely means only what 1t professes to mean, and MT, Glover considers his action the per formance of an imperative duty to long neglected
