STETS0NITES FILE PROTEST
Boston First Reader, They Say,
Isn't Following Mrs. Eddy.

Friends of Mrs. Augusta L. Stetson. the
former leader Of the local First Church Of
the Christian Science denomination. let it
he known yesterday that they had lodged
a complaint against a statement of Judge
Clifford L. Smith. first reader of the
Mother Church Of the cult in Boston. made
by him in a recent article in The Chris
tian Science Sentinel
Judge Smith wrote: We must begin 10
put on Immortality" and the Stetsonites
here said yesterday that in so writing he
was depar, ing from the teachings of Mrs.
Eddy, where she wrote that the starting
point Of divine science is that God, Spirit,
is All-in-all; man is, not shall be, perfect
and immoI tai"
Their criticism of the first readers
statement is based on the same question
in Christian Science circles which occa-
stoned the recent diametrically opposed
announcements from the Boston board of
directors and Mrs. Stetson as to the possi-
blity of Mrs. Eddys resurrection.
Mrs Stetson's friends say that their
leader has received thousands of letters
from Christian Scientists all over the
world since her announcement of her be-
lief that Mrs. Eddy would appear on earth
again commencing her stand as the only
logical status for one who took Mrs.
Eddys writings literally.
That announcement from Mrs. Stetson,
made some two months ago was greeted
with scorn by the representatives Of the
Christian Science Church. who insisted
that Mrs Stetson's views had no influence
in Christian Science circles anyway since
she had been accommodated from the
Mother Church in Boston in 1909.
Judge Smiths article, TO which the Stet-
sonites in the local church circles take ex-
ception, implies, they say. that Christian
Scientists are now mortal. but at some
future time they may begin TO put On im-
mortality. Mrs Eddy's teachings, they
saw are that Christian Scientists have al
ways been immortal. The friends of Mrs.
Stetson. who believe her 10 be the proper
person to interpret Mrs. Eddy's teachings,
say that such a statement from Judge
Smith is an attempt 10 reverse Mrs.
Eddy'S teachings
