COURT MUST DECIDE
EDDY CULTS STATUS
Is Christian Science Religion
or Not? Question to
Be Decided.

BOSTON, March 2s.-Whether Chris
tian Science as taught by Mrs. Mary
Baker G. Eddy is a religion or is
against public policy will be determin-
ed by the full bench of the supreme court
The issue is raised squarely in the litiga-
ton over Mrs. Eddy's estate, arguments
in which were begun before the supreme
bench.
Primarily the suit is by the board of
directors of the First Church of Christ.
scientist. against Adam H. Dickey ct al,
trustees. under a deed executed by Mrs.
Eddy, seeking a conveyance of all her
real estate. valued at $2,OO0OOO, in accord
ance with the reslduary clause Of her
will giving the property to the Mother
Church in trust to keep the edifice and
parsonage in repair and promote Chris
tan Science as taught by her.
The attorney general claims the gift is
void because of the prohibition of gift
under section 8 of chapter 81 of the re-
vised laws of anY church the income Of
which shall exceed $1,000 year.
Claims of Two Sons.
Mrs. Eddy's son, George w. Glover. and
adopted son, Ebenezer ]. Foster Eddy,
seek to intervene. claiming that in the
event of the gift being declared void the
OpSIly DeCOlIleS luteSldlc anu tUcys DIS
heirs, will receive it.
The directors claim that il the church
cannot receive the gift ecause of the
prohibitory statute, then the gift ought
not to fail, sincce it constitutes a char
liable trust for the promotion of the re-
ligion of Christian Science. and that
other trustees should be appointed by the
court to administer the trust
Mrs. Eddy's son and adopted son claim
Christian Science is not a religion. but
is against public policy, and the court
ought not to appoint trustees to carry
out the purpose Of the testatrix to pro-
mote Christian Science, because such is
contrary to public policy.
Counsel for plaintiffs in defending
Christian Science point out that Mrs.
Eddy taught belief in God. taught belief
in Christ taught belief in atonement
through Christ, taught the immediate
continuous presence of the Holy Ghost,
taught the supreme efficacy of prayer,
taught that knowledge of Christ heals
the sick, taught obedience to law and
did not deny the existence of death.

INGRAM JUNIORS WIN.
Defeat Epworth M. E. Church by
Close Score.

The Ingram junior boys basket ball
team of Ingram Church. northeast, won
its last game of the season by the close
score of 22 TO Is in fast and exciting
game. Although outweighed. the boys
showed that weight, size and age did not
count as much as nerve, grit and, last
but not least, team work. The Epworth
boys worked hard TO win, and came near
doing so in the last few minutes, but
through the great defensive work of
Glessner, Stephenson and Campbell the
Ingram boys came off victorious. A great
deal of credit is due Carl Glessner, cap
tain of the team, who scored seven field
goals. He has improved much in his
playing this season that Coach Haas
thinks that he will be able 10 make the
big team next year.

AWAITS FLYNN,
ONE OF MAINE HEROES
Has Failed to Appear at CON-
miSSioner'S Office and
Secure Bounty.
Please try to find him

Please try to find him,
, Who?
Michael Flynn
He is the former able seaman Of the
navy who went down with the Maine in
grimy old Havana harbor that dark
night February Is. 1898. and Commission
er Davenport Of the pension bureau has
been waiting since 9 o'clock today at his
private Office to shake his hand and tell
him he thought he deserved pension for
the near blindness which 1t is declared
has come on him by reason OF the burns
and other injuries he received on that
night of horror.
Commissioner Davenport in the role OF
calling on a veteran OF Uncle Sans
service to come in and partake of the
bounty which a grateful nation had
laid up for those who have served IL
faithfully and who in their days of de-
cline turn to ii for assistance, is out or
the ordinary. The biggest part OF his
time is consumed in keeping many from
getting their hands in the public crib"
when they have no right to have them
there.
But now the scene is changed.
The commissioner believes that five
years ago. when Flynn was examined by
the pension surgeons in Philadelphia, his
eyes were falling and that he should
1t was not. The application was re-
fused.
Knew Nothing of Case Then.
But Mr.. Davenport did not have the
papers brought to his attention at that
time. The story of one of the survivors
of the Maine who swan about in the
murky waters for half an hour after
the ship had foundered and had been
badly burned and otherwise injured did
not reach his ears.
Now he has heard of Flynn's need.
The former able seaman has been
visiting here from his home in Pennsyl-
vania to see the unknown dead from
his old ship buried in beautiful Airing
ton. He was still supposed to be in the
city. but the same city has apparently
swallowed him up.
grateful Uncle Samuel is ready and
willing to give him the aid that he
greatly desires.
Michael Flynn hasn't gotten in" said
Private Secretary Nielsen TO Commits
sioner Davenport at 3 o'clock this after
noon. There was disappointment in his
voice.
Now?
If you see Michael Flynn. please bring
him in.
Tell him there is money awaiting him.
