Mrs. Della NJ Gilbert. the woman who
recently tried to open Christian Science
church among the rich occupants OF the
Hetel Plaza. in New York. but who was
called off by the mother church at
Boston, proclaimed Mary Baker G. Eddy,
the founder and supposed head OF the
Christian Science organization. to be
either dead or a helpless, mindless pup
pet in the hands Of conscienceless men
and that the church ''is without a spirit
ual leader in the flesh" Mrs Gilbert saic
that this truth had been revealed to her
in humble obedience to the viii OF God. .
Within the last three weeks. she said. she
had been within the so-called home OF
Mrs. Eddy and hac studied AT close range
