SAY MRS. STETSON'S AIM
is TO CONTROL CHURCH
Christian Scientist Leaders Foresee
Struggle for Succession
to Mrs. Eddy.

NEW YORK, June 25.-The announce
ment Of Mrs Augusta E. Stetson Mon
day of her claims as the true interpreter
of Christian Science next in authority
only to Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy. has
caused her opponents to say that she
now is seeking the actual control of the
church organization.
They assert that her next move will be
to win back again her former authority
in the First Church at 96th street and
Central Park West, or failing that, to
build more beautiful and luxurious
church edifice than the one which she
built and from which she resigned after
her accommodation from the mother
church in Boston.
That the leaders of the mother church
are preparing for struggle Is apparent.
They preserve absolute silence, but from
other sources it was learned that for
several months they have been carrying
on most thorough watch Throughout,
the field for Christian Scientists who
might have any leaning toward the views
held by Mrs Stetson.
Denial From Mrs. Stetson's Friends.
There is no doubt in the minds of fol-
lowers Of the directors. who were ready
to speak in confidence, that Mrs. Stetson
is now in the field as the actual, temporal
successor to Mrs. Eddy, not in the sense
OF being an expounder of new doctrines.
but as her most faithful and her ablest
disciple interpreting the teachings of the
founder of the sect. and. therefore, hav-
ing the right of the control of the mother
church.
Friends Of Mrs Stetson denied emphat-
ically that their leader and teacher has
any intention Of seeking the control OF
the material church body. They do as
sert, however, that she is the correct ex-
FOUNDER of Mrs. Eddy's teachings, where
as the Boston directors are absolutely
wrong. They contend that the Boston
men are material" while Mrs. Stetson
is spiritual in her ideas and her teach
ings.
