EFFECTS OF INQUIRY.

THEREUPoN the inquiry was begun.
The trustees held that Mr.. stric,x-
Ter. as first reader. had forfeited his
rlgnt 10 initiate the proceedings bv
failure TO report his objections-as he
was privileged TO do under the bylaws
although the facts had been in bis
possession from some time in August to
the beginning OF the inquiry. Indeed
says the report, Mr. Stricken has
never brought the matter to the atten-
ton OF the board officially. It cane be-
fore the board by Mrs. stetson's initia-
tive, taken September &c.
Before the appointment Of the com
mittee Of inquiry continues the report.
the board of trustees considered care
fully a phase Of the pending question
which was Of prime importance. though
Of preliminary character, namely, the
question OF the respective jurisdictions
Of the Mother Church and OF this
branch church in respect TO the matters
under consideration. While the board
Of trustees was duly considering this
grave question, not previously raised in
The Washington times., 1909-11-14
Authority to Teach
And Practice Is Revoked.

s. After having considered these facts,
in view of the bylaws of this church
applicable to them. the directors unani-
mously determined and ordered as fol-
lows:
First, That the card of Mrs. Stetson
be removed from the Christian Science
Journal. and that the trustees of the
publishing society be directed not TO
advertise her as a teacher or practf-
toner of Christian Science without first
obtaining the approval of the dIree-
tors.
Second. That Mrs. StetsOn's license or
authority to teach Christian Science be,
and it hereby Is, revoked. and that she
be and hereby is forbidden TO undertake
the work of a teacher of Christian Sci
ence until her fitness for such work
shall have been proved and decided &C
cording 70 article u, section /, of the
bylaws of this church.
Third, That In order to inform Mrs.
Stetson Of the action now taken by the
directors and to admonish her concern
ing the things now pointed out By them.
the secretary of the board shall send to
her by registered mail q COPY OF these
findings and orders.

ARRANGEMENTS were then made for an

the course OF the trustees under their
duty to their congregation. As pre-
liminaFy TO that demand It was ar
ranged that Mr.. stricklei. and Miss
Young should absent themselves from
the hearings. save as witnesses. as Mrs.
Stetson had done, and a request was
made Of the Boston board for the testi-
mony upon which IL based its action.
The reply TO that request was this:

Mrs. RabcOck's own statement, made
to group Of reporters. was that she
had been released by Mrs. Stetson from
paying the $1,000 she subscribed for the
organ, that the deed TO the house she
meant 70 give was returned three times
the last time torn up, and that Mrs.
Stetson kept her waiting a wear before

the house covered by the deed was &C

throughout the field, that there is
something wrong with the teachings and
practices in First Church OF Christ. Sci
enlist, New York city. and that these
teachings and practices differ materially
from those which obtain in other
places. 3. That no charge or complaint
was then pending against any particu-
lar person"
Two days later Mrs. Stetson received
a letter from the directors in Boston,
which was considered by the trustees at
meeting held October /, the following
being its most important paragraphs:
Boards Charges
Against Mrs Stetsoa
Saturday. September ,. 1909.
The board of directors Of the First
Church Of Christ. Scientist, in Boston,
Mass. met pursuant 10 their adjourn
ment Of yesterday Present: All Of the
/ directors.
The directors sook up and considered
the case of Mr.. Augusta z. Stetson. a
member OF this church and an author
lied teacher of Christian Science, as
presented by her statements recently
made before the directors and the testi-
mony of twenty-five witnesses whose
..
After having carefully considered the
/ evidence. the direc.oss Gecided and IN
animOusiy agreed as follows:
1-That Mrs. Stetson teaches her stu
dents, or those with whom she has been
holding daily meetings, that the branch
Church Of Christ, Scientist. Of which she
is a member, is the only legitimate Chris
tan Science church in New York city;
and she teaches her students. or said
group of students, not to regard the
other branches of the Mother Church
which are in that city as Christian Sci
ence churches.
2-That a considerable number OF the
witnesses whose testimony the direct
ors have heard exhibit as Mrs. Stet-
sons teaching an erroneous sense Of
Christian Science, particularly in re-
gard to the application OF Chris
tian Science TO human needs and
conditions; the witnesses whom the di-
rectors have, heard being with one ex-
ceptiOn her students and being a select
body of students chosen by her, or a
board of which she was a member. to
be representative practitioners of Chris
tan Science.
9-That Mrs. Stetson endeavOrs to ex-
ercise control over her students which
tends TO hinder their moral and spiritual
growth.
4-That Mrs. Stetsor endeavors to OBJ
trude herself upon he attention OF her
students in such manner as to turn
their attention away from the divine
Principle.
5-Thar Mrs. Stetson practices and
teaches pretended Christian Science con-
trary 10 the statement thereof in Sci
- y
lures" particularly by treating persons
without their request or consent. and by
teaching a select body of her students
TO do likewise.
6-That Mrs. Stetson attempts TO con-
troll and To injure persons by mental
means; this being utterly contrary to
the teachings of Christian Science.
z That Mrs. Stetson has so strayed
from the right way as not to be ut for
the work Of a teacher Of Christian Sci
ence.
The Washington times., 1909-11-14

tinctly democratic in its government,
and no Individual an6 no other church
shalt interfere with us affairs. Each
church shall separately and independ-
entity discipline its own members-if
this sad necessity occurs"
Il VIII he seen that not even the
position of the several States under
the American Constitution was so un-
certain as that Of these branch
churches. And this il a vagueness of
no little Importance to denomination
counting two branches in Africa, one
in South America, one in China. one in
the Philipl'ne Islands, four In Aus
tralia, twelve in Europe, thirty-eight in
Great Britain and Ireland, forty-three
in North America without the United
States. and LO77 in this country.
The number OF practitioners in these
LIS congregations is given as about
1900, over practically ali OF whom the
Boston board has direct authority as
members OF the mother church
In passing, il Is interesting to note
that TO outsider can learn the enroll
ment or he congregations, under
bylaw Of the Manual which says:
Christian Scientists shall not report
for publication the number CT members
Of the Mother Church, nor that OF the
branch churches According to the
Scripture they shall auru away from
personality and numbering the people"
Lack of DelimitatiOn
Cause of Present Crisis.
The present crisis is direct out
growth from this lack Of deIimitation.
If Mrs. Eddy shall shortly write further
bylaws the problem may solve without
disaster. For there has not been In ALI
my study OF this situation in New YorI,
so much as a hint from any factionaIist
that he would not accept readily an
intimation Of Mother Eddys" viii
But unless the directors shall carry the
matter 10 the founder 1t cannot reach
her. What, then. is there for the
branch churches to do?
A report to the congregation Of First
Church of Christ, Scientist, of New
York, read TO that body behind closed
doors, Thursday, November 4, is the
first important discussion of this cues
ton. 1t has never before been pub
lished, not even to Christian Scientists.
The congregation OF First Church, New
York, heard 1t read. Two or three
paragraphs Of general substance have
appeared In the newspapers. But the
following brief of Tits 5000 words pre-
clUde the reproduction OF it here in
full-is the first publication in any ma
terial degree.
The repos4 is written 'tn the hope
of removing whatever obstacles may lie
in the way II. the return Of this church
TO the enjoyment Of that peace and
growth which belong TO the children of
God" 1t opens with a statement of
an informal conference held In Boston
between the trustees and the directors,
at which It was announced:
80. That an investigation was in prog
ress at Boston. and was Instituted be-
cause OF the widespread impression OBJ |
tanned by all Christian Scientists
