JUDGE GLADDENs EDDY CULT

Under Medicine Ban


Followers of Mrs. Mary Baker G.
Eddy throughout Missouri are jubilant
following Judge Thurmond 8 decision
at Warrensburg that Christian Science
healing does ont come under the ban
of the law forbidding practicing medi-
cine without a license. The effect OF
the court standing thus given to their
cult, leaders here declare, will be
widespread, and already plans are be.
ing laid to make the most of the vic
tory.
This plan contemplates making ct.
Louis the western headquarters of

of Mrs. Eddy's strength and her death
practically inevitable in the near flu
ture it is believed much of the power
of the org TAXATION now conferred n

The minister went to the state de-
partment armed with a bundle of dis.
patches from his government and
spent half hour with the secretary,
during which he discussed also the
Emery claim, which has been the

and it is understood here also that
some of his dispatches have not reach
ed him as promptly as they should

and irritating to the state department,
which is not disposed to act hastily
and is seeking the views of the vari

through its representatives in those
places with whom it has acquainted
fully every step that has been taken.
