From Dead.

Susta E. stetson, the excommunicated
header of the First Church of Christ.
Scientist in New York, said tonight
that the hour had come when she must
stand before the whole world of Chris
tian Science and proclaim her belief
in the imminent resurrection in the
semblance OF human form OF Mary
Baker g. Eddy. the discoverer OF Chris
tian Science. who, as the world believes.
died at her home in Newton. Mass, on
December 3.
Mrs Eddy is not dead" said Mrs.
Stetson. "As Jesus Chris. revealed
Himself on the third day after His cru

herself TO all the world in proof of her
teachings that there is no death. With

lengthy written statement OF her doc

certain Christian Scientists In this city
looked for a resurrection OF Mrs Eddy
in the flesh. Mrs. Stetson had adlnou-

her with this concept, saying that there
was no authority for such a belief in
any of Mrs Eddys writings and that

Mother Church OF the, cult 10 indulge
in speculation.
Tonight Mrs Stetson said that such
report nad been allowed 10 go FORTH
because ~the hour had not YET come
when ] should give voice to my solemn
convictions in this matter"
The hour came to-day, and at her
home at 4 West Ninety-slxth Street,
adjoining the First Church building,
Mrs Stetson talked tonight at length
upon startling deductions which had
come 10 her through twenty-six years
of study of the divine metaphysics
set forth In Science and Health" and
other OF Mrs. Eddys writings.
Mrs. Eddys passing on from the
earthly sphere and the subsequent ac-
tions of certain Christian Scientists in
Boston, all OF which seemed TO indi-
cate conviction that the discoverer
and leader of Christian Science was
dead, had greatly shocked and demor.
allied Christian Scientists everywhere,
according to Mrs. Stetson. Those who
had thus seemed to accept the general
belief that Mrs. Eddy was dead, and
VINO had subsequently, ordered their
conduct in a manner which indicated

like those disciples who had gathered
together in an upper room after the
nucitNion of the Saviour, deploring the
1act that He was dead and taking no
heed of prophetic admonition to await
His resurrection.
Her Name Omitted.
1t was noted to-day that the latest
edition of the Manual of the Mother
Church. which has just come from the
presses in Boston, the usual line "AIary
Baker Eddy, Pastor Emeritus" had
been omitted from the list of church
officers which prsfaces the text of the
church law In all previous editions of
this book Mrs. Eddy's name and title
has appeared in this list. This is a
grave indication of the attitude taken
by the directors of the Mother Church
since the event of Mrs. Eddy's passing
on. according to those who hold with
Mrs Stetson that Mrs. Eddy is not
dead and that she is still the head of
4 the church.

in the ultimate proof of her triumph
over death. I know 1t will come
know 1t must come. Nobody but Mrs.
Eddy, who is now with Jesus, with the
truth, could be the logical person to
demonstrate in this hour.
This demonstration may not be the
same as that made by Jesus Christ
1000 years ago, We know not how
conditions may have changed in the
present day. There is tomb In
Mount Auburn Cemetery which is
equipped with telephone and which
is watched by guards; it is different
from the tomb which Joseph of Arima-
thea secretly put at the disposition Of

as you would say, it passes slowly
from the feshly concept to the purely
Spiritual.
Il believe that Mrs. Eddy will dem-
sonstrate herself before she has made
,this transition; that she will still have
the appreciable aspect of the material,
so that she can be seen by the eyes Of
men. Those who have sufficiently ele-
waited themselves so as nearly to ap-
proach the spiritual, leaving the mate
rial concepts behind them, will be- the
FIRST to see Mrs. Eddy. but the whole
world shall be witness to her demon
