Science. On this foundation-rock she
seems to have stood for more than
thirty years, immovable in her warfare
against sin, sickness and death, and up
70 the present time has proved herself
invulnerable to the forces, viz. hatred,
envy, jealousy, persecution-sin In all
it's phases, which she has had to en-
counter from those who deny her the
right to interpret Christian Science
from a wholly spiritual viewpoint.
1t is evident from the facsimile let
tiers of Mrs. Eddy to her pupil, Mrs.
Stetson, that Mrs. Eddy believed she
could make of Mrs. Stetson, whose
spiritual sense was highly developed,
a demonstrator of Christ's teachings,
which Mrs. Eddy discovered and
founded on the rock. Christ. Mrs.
Eddy's confidence in Mrs. Stetson's
Christian character and ability to COM
prehend and demonstrate the spiritual
fact of her (Mrs. Eddy's) teaching, is
attested. according to report, by over
four hundred letters, few of which l

York HERALD.
vince all who are unprecedented. that
Mrs. Stetson understands, teaches and
demonstrates true Christian Science, as
taught by Mary Baker Eddy. 1 quote
few letters in confirmation of mn
convictions regarding Mrs. Eddy's
guidance of Mrs. Stetson out of the
mental material world of sin, sickness
and death, into the spiritual thoughts
or world which will enable Christian
Scientist to demonstrate Immortality
or an endless life, according to the
proof which Jesus gave to the world
in his triumph over death.
Mrs. Eddy wrote: Your dear letter
assuring me Of your compliance with
the strict demand, Come out from the
world and be We separate'--in the
sense of Science--comforts me-; and
Mrs. Stetson's reply that she was
ready speaks for itself. At another
time Mrs. Eddy wrote Mrs. Stetson:
do not dlloto the eUii one in your
midst to turn you away from me in
this hour OF crucifixion, or history will
repeat itself, and Christian Science
will once more be lost as aforetime."
Evidently Mrs. Stetson regards this
as a sacred charge entrusted to her,
and she is defending the teachings of
Christ Jesus and Mary Baker Eddy,
that man is spiritual, immortal, and
that death is therefore an illusion. the
effect of carnal thoughts,
Mrs. Stetson's crucifixion for her de-
fence of spiritual thinking must be
near it's end. for 1t is evident to all that
material foundations are crumbling,
and mortals who have not the Christ
mind are fighting themselves out of
existence. am willing to predict that
Christian Science will never again be
lost, but will be the lifeline. which, II
grasped by humanity. will draw them
to the infinite Source of Being. eternal
Life and Love. which Christ proved in
his triumph over the carnally minded
who placed him in a tomb.
Again let me quote Mrs. Eddy to
Mrs. Stetson: "By adhering 70 His
lonely, present highest idea of love
you will hold to its Principle and be
safe" Mrs. Eddy In that hour was
the highest visible idea of Principle
Love.
Again she wrote: II have few
moments to myself and my heart turns
to you. with such gratitude for your
strength i'm carrying out measures so
important to the cause. that ] must
