SURRENDER The
LITTLE BOY TO
THE 0RPHANAGE

Trenton, N. J., July 23.-LfttIe Da-
MD, the reincarnation of King David
Of Biblical history, must doff the royal
purple with which he has been fgura-
lively ROBBED by Sarah Van Allen Muir
ray and MI. John Murray of the
Church of the Healing Christ.
Vice Chancellor Howell of the New
Jersey court of c~hancery at Trenton
so decreed when he ordered the joint
prophets of the new dispensatton to
restore the embodiment Of the great
psalmist to St. Mary's orphanage of
East Providence, r. I.
Mrs. Murray and w. John Murray,
the court tn the suit brought IN the
name of Miss Amy w. Mason Of the
asylum board Is but another stroke of
the malicious animal magnetism that
has been shifted their way by Mary
Baker Eddy, Mrs. Augusta e. Stetson
and several other present apd former
powers in the Christian Science church
ever since they, the Murrays, with
drew from that sect several years ago.
The dual head of the Church of the
Healing Christ also says collectively
that the reason why Sarah and W.
John Murray withdrew from the
Christian Science church and adopted
all the children they could well care
for was Mrs. Eddy's secret preaching
against the sacrament of marriage and
the duty of child bearing.
The taking away Of little David Is
persecution, say the Nfurrays. They
assert that they can trace the venge-
full hand of the head of the Christian
science church through the New Jer-
sey court of chaneery. They intend
to throw sheltering wings over the
nine other of their adopted brood
which finds asylum In their home at
93 Warrington place, East Orange,
lest more bolts of animal magnetism
should unhappiiy strike another de-
f~enseless Orphans head.
Seven or eight months ago the Muir
rays adopted the boy, who was known
rs Kenneth Williams, out of the Prov
ideace orphanage and took him to live
with them in the East Orange nursery.
w. John Murray asserted positively
that the adoption of little Kenneth had
been done at the urgent behest of Miss
Mason. Not only had Kenneth been
taken into the common shelter of the
household and the Healing Christ, but
three other orphans whom Miss Mason
had recommended as worthy had prev
iously been received into the Murray
home.
When Kenneth anne to the expan-
sive hearth of the Murrays, Mrs. Muir
ray felt that he had been SEM to her
by God as a divine possession, and she
believed that out Of the brown, seri-
Gus eyes Of the orphan the soul of
Jesse's tuneful scion peered. At least
she renamed him David, and she did
not hesitate to say that East Orange
housed a mighty man of God re-
divivus.
Miss Mason was a visitor at our
house several times after David came
said w. John Murray. "She seemed to
/ place the utmost confidence In us until
she learned that we We're not members
Of the Christian Science church as she
| had supposed. At that minute she
| cooled toward u.s." .
Orange, n. j., July 23.-An appeal
from the decision of Vice Chancellor
| Howell awarding to st. Mary's or
phanage of Providence, II. L., the Gus
tody of ~iye-year-old Kenneth Williams
Is to be taken by Mrs. Sara a Allen
Murray of this city, who now has the
boy in her possession. Mrs. Murray
adopted him last January and has
since been resisting the efforts Of the
orphanage I o get the boy back.
