he was further pressed regarding the
startling situation in which the
church finds ITSELF he said: "You are

directors have gone into consultation
upon the situation"

was put that Mrs. Eddy's personal

church manual for the regulation Of
ecclesiastical and administrative
functions that the whole structure

Il must ask you not to urge me to

Mcclellan, yisibly agi.ated. "They

grave question. It is not a matter
that can be answered off-hand. It is
thing ever which the direators

in the problem which was brought
straight to the door of the directors
at the minute that Mrs. Eddy died:
"The article in the manual under the
heading Amendment of Bylaws Sec
tion 8. reads:
mo new tenet or new bylaw shall
be adopted, nor any tenet or bylaw
amended or annulled, without the
written consent Of Mary Baker Eddy,
the author of our text book Science
and Health"

the rules Of the manual and first OF
the chapter dealing with church Off.
GERS reads: "The church officers
shall consist of the pastor emeritus,
a board of directors, president, a
clerk, a treasurer and two readers"
Throughout all the remainder OF
the code of ecclesiastical law there
are references to the necessity of the
assent to this and that measure by
the pastor emeritus" or by Mary
Baker Eddy. The terms are used
anonymously. In many instances
the signature CT Mrs. Eddy is direct
ly stipulated as being necessary to
certain approyals and certain re-
quests.
When Mrs Eddy died one of the
first authoritative announcements
made by Alfred Farlow, the official
mouthpiece of the directors, was that
there would be no successor 10 Mrs.
Eddy. There would be no elevations
to rank above the common in the
church, 1t was said. When the fact
was pointed out to Mr.. Mcclellan and
Mr.. Dlttemore that the first clause of
the church bylaws directed that a
pastor emeritus should be one If the
officers of the church, Mr.. Dittemore
said: well, how are you going to
have pastor emeritus when we

Simplicity Marked Services.

Boston, Dec. 9.-The funeral Of the
founder Of Christian Science was
what her pupils believed she would
wish. Simplicity bordering on bald
ness, and devoid of any element
which might evoke emotionalsm,
marked every step of the simple SER
vice and the laying away in the
tomb. In just 1s minutes the few
carefully chosen words that yelled
the studied ignoring of death, which
is the Christian Science creed, had
been said in sunny hallway If the
Eddy house at Newton, and in less
than two hours after that the body
was sealed within a rough stone
vault on Indian Ridge, in the Mount
