MRS. STEIS0N OUT
Continued from first page.

Eddys letter. all she could claim would
be 10 teach doctrine Of her own. she
could not offer them Christian Science.
The great significance Of this event.
as I see II. is that the world has now
been assured that the ridiculous hodge
Podge which was talked in that church
and the grsver offences which were COM
mitted there are no part Of Christian
Science. and never have been. The
fourth dimension Of spirit mental as
sassination.' into the absolute and from
the spiritual point Of view are phrases
which Mrs. Stetson's followers have
evolved for themselves. Too many un-
informed persons have taken them seri-
ously as the sincere terminology Of
Christian Science. II is well 70 have
that idea corrected at once
LIKELY To ACCEPT RESIGNATION.
A prominent member of the First
Church said that Mrs. Stetson's with
drawal from the Office of trustee OF the
First Church would follow on her ex-
communication by the Mother Church
Six weeks ago she rendered her resigna-
the table II will probably be accepted

edged Mrs Eddy's word indorsiug the
Boston directors as final
There is no bylaw Of the First
Church. however. which provides that =
trustee must be member Of the church
or of any Christian Science BODY" he
said The trustees would also have tc
act 10 cut off the $4,000 a year which is
paid TO Mrs Stetson by the church.
1t Is bad precedent which Mrs
Stetson has set in that she was the sole
teacher in the congregation. The spirit
OF Christian Science as exempliIed by
Mrs. Eddy was 70 ger away from tribal
ism. But Mrs Stetson has consistently
sterilized all ambition in her students
and tried 70 keep them from the inffu-
ence Of other teachings"
A former pupil of Mrs. Stetson gave A
different reason for thinking she will not
continue 70 dominate any large body Of
followers.
For some time past" he said. Mrs.
Stetson's powers OF leadership and her
aggressive spirit have seemed 10 be on
the decline. she has shown not decay of
her mental faculties in reasoning or m
practical life. but she has seemed less
the inspired teacher and dominating
mind than formerly. She has frequently
expressed doubts as 10 whether she was
/ following the right course during the re-
/ cent troubles. and many OF her friends
+ believe that she has only been supported
I in her resistance by the urging OF soma

ter in the whole matter"
