being on earth can change my true
sense of an individual. No matter
what is said to me it cannot move
me-
Another affirmation of Mrs. Eddy to
Mrs. Stetson is: I'VE always unite on
one point, viz, that no supposed power
can ever separate the eternal friend
ship and Christian love that exists be-
| tween me and YOU"
And another: BE of good cheer.
darling, you are supported by a strong
arm-your students are loyal. Now
take my advice. Do not counteract
any movement for churches or for the
unity of two in one-even IL it seems
best to do so-but let the students
learn from experience, and God direct
them. You are entrenched, and had
better be left out than mixed with
what cannot mix. So be wise and wait
on God and He will direct thy path"
Referring to the First Church of
Christ, Scientist, Boston, Mass, Mrs
Eddy wrote: 1T was my church in
the beginning as much as Mrs. Stet-
sons church is hers"
Another proof of Mrs. Eddys conf
|
understanding of Christian Science
follows: again, darling. say mother
loves you and appreciates your scien-
tific demonstration over my other stu
dents and the enter thou that God is
speaking to YOU"
Again, in these facsimile letters. Mrs.
Eddy expresses her appreciation, "have
your students done as much for our
cause as you haze done? Well, you
were my student, and what is best no
other one ever taught you"
Another evidence of Mrs. Eddy's far
seeing wisdom is In her words which
follow: How much you have done
and will yet do for our cause none
knows but me-"
Before Mrs. Eddy left this plane OF
existence she wrote to Mrs. Stetson
the following: Darling, rise each
hour; now is the resurrection morn
and I want Augusta to be my Mary"
| 1t Is very evident that when Mrs.
Eddy had finished her earth mission
in what the materialists called death
Mrs. Stetson proved to be her Mary"
for she declared throughout the press
at that time, and has declared ever
since, that Mrs. Eddy has not died,
that she rose beyond the ability of any
| of her students to visualize her, and
that they must rise to spiritual sight
or vision, which will reveal Mrs. Eddy
in the image and likeness of her Crea-
tor-Life and Love.
Mrs. Stetson doubtless will be the
fret to recognize Mrs. Eddy at her re-
appearance, and will go, like Mary of
old, and "tell the brethren" May not
Mrs. Eddy's students at some time
recognize their Leader, Mrs. Eddy, as
did Jesus disciples recognize their
Teacher in the walk to Emmaus?
Let me quote again an extract from
Mrs. Eddy's letters, which appeared in
the columns of THE New York
HERALD IL entrust you with an
other momentous move. namely,
our memorial of Christian Science.
that the ages will look upon and be
lifted up" May not that memorial be
the spiritualized man, the type and
symbol of which is the obelisk and it's
capstone, q pyramid on Mrs. Stetson's
church at Ninety-sixth street and Gen.
trail Park West, which Mrs. Stetson
and her students built and inscribed
as IA tribute of love and gratitude" TO
Mrs. Eddy. their Leader and Teacher?
If Mrs. Eddy's letters to Augusta 10.
Stetson are inspired by Truth--and
every true Christian Scientist believes
that Mrs. Eddy's words are inspired
then Mrs Stetson must be true fol-
lower of Christ Jesus and Mary Baker
Eddy and n demonstration of Christian
Science, or immortality. II none are
able to overcome sin. the result OF
which Is sickness and death. then
Christian Science is not workable.
Mrs. Stetson has for years asserted
and continues to assert, that she and
every one is immortal. that God Is the
Source Of life and that nothing but
sin, which she repudiates, can separate
any one from the Source Of their being
Life and Love.
Mrs. Eddy taught all her students to
