MRS. STETSON THINKS
MRS. EDDY WILL RISE
Completely Changes Front il
Matter of Resurrection
in the Flesh.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CRISIS
Infers That Unless Founder OF
Cult Demonstrates Triumph
Over Death Her Teach
ings Cannot Prevail.

In letter which she wrote TO one of
her students on December Is, and made
ruhlic last night. Mrs. Augusta E. Stet-
son the one time leader of the Christian
Scientists of this city. announced her
NrT, belief in the resurrection in the flesh
Of Mrs Mary Baker Eddy
Two DAYS ago Mrs. Stetson would not
admit that she expected this resurrec-
-lon. Last night she said that when she
had been interrogated concerning it be-
fore she believed that the hour had not
corne for the world TO see and hear" She
believes now that that hour has come.
7 know Mrs. Eddy viii make her
demonstration over death. know that
she viii come in the flesh. said Mrs
Sfetson last night 1T may be to-day,
II NAV be next week, or il may even be
next wear. out she will come and demon
strste 10 all the world the truth Of her
doctrines"
Mrs. Stetson believes that the Board OF
Directors of the Mother Church in Bos-
ton have forsaken the teachings of Mrs
Eddy since the moment when they an
rounced to the world that Mrs Eddy
was dead. Her argument. reduced to its
simplest form, is that Mrs. Eddy taught
and wrote that Christian Science could
triumph over sin. sickness and death.
If YOU abandon the last. and admit
that Divine Science cannot triumph over
DEATH she said, you cannot hold to
the others II is the crisis of Christian
Science: Mrs. Eddy must triumph over
death or her teachings that Christian
Science can triumph over sin and sick
ness must be abandoned.
Hundreds Support This View.
Mrs Stetson has received hundreds of
letters from Christian Scientists all over
he country supporting this view, and
demanding that she step into the breach
ny holding strictly TO the logic of Mrs.
Fddy's teachings, even to the triumph
~,ver death
Accepting Jesus Christ as Gods mani
festation Of ''T'rutl'' i'm the dawn of the
Christian era. Mrs. Stetson is no less
firm in her belief that Mrs. Eddy is
likewise Gods manifestation of Truth"
in this age. SO far practically all
Christian Scientists go with her. But
Mrs. Stetson carries her comparison Of
and says that Mrs. Eddy must. as He
rid. demonstrate to the world the truth
nf her teachings. She does not admit
that it might he possible that Mrs Eddy
cannot or might not be resurrected. but
she infers that without such resurrec-
lion Christian Science cannot prevail
Mrs Eddy must work herself out Of
the material as Christ did 1t took Him
three DAYS, if might take Mrs Eddy
longer she said last night. but when
she does it will not be for the few, but
for all the world to sec.
Says Millennium VII! Follow.
With tie return TO earth of Mrs
Fddy's resurrected body, Mrs Stetson
believes what she calls the Gospel era
will he closed and the millennium will

develop along the lines of Mrs Eddy's
teachings sufficiently, will not die, but
will go continuously along with exist
