two men resigned themselves to be
satisfied with one-tenth of the sum.
The bitter struggle which cast the
whole question of the Christian Sci
ence faith into the courts, and called
upon the law to pass upon it as
religion, was closed yesterday when
Mrs. Eddy's son, George w. Glover
of Lead, S. D., and her foster son.
E. ]. F. Eddy of Waterbury, VT.
agreed through their counsel to abide
by an agreement made before Mrs.
Eddy's death, by which between them
they get less than $500, 900.
