the Publicity Committee Of the
church in New York. as follows;

statements looking to physical resur-
rection. and any tendency or thought
I'm that direction is abnormal to
Christian Scientists, as Il takes ac-
count Of the personality Of Mrs. Eddy,
which she deprecated.
ITO attempt TO defy her or make
her equal with God or Jesus Christ
is as repugnant to Christian Scient-
lists as It was to Mrs Eddy.

Christ. Mrs. Eddy said: Even the
question shocks me. What ] am -
for God to declare in His intimate
mercy. - There was and is

! Ms. Eddy should forever put at rest

Statements tending toward the
dedication of Mrs. Eddy and referring
to her resurrection recently promul-

Gated from the mother church by the
board of directors for incorrect teach
