NEW SCIENCE CHURCH
HOLDS FIRST MEETING
Service FolIoWs the Rules
Laid DoUn by Mrs. Eddy.

The first meeting of the Independent

persons who assert that the Mother
Church has become too autocratic and
that there is an increasing tendency in
existing churches TO emphasize the
personality Of Mrs. Eddy rather than
her teachings, was held yesterday MORN
ing In the Hotea Astor. After the read
ing Of the orthodox service by Alfred
Brown and Mrs May b. Edmunds. Mrs.
Helena Barwis. former reader in the
Tenth Church. explained why the new
church had been organized.
Nearly 100 persons attended the ser
vice. Most of them were former mem
bers Of regular congregations. with a
sprinkling of those who are just taking
up Christian Science.
Mrs. Barwis said the new church
would follow strictly the service pre-
scribed by Mrs. Eddy, and that X In no
sense indicated a breaking away from
the fundamental beliefs of Christian
Science II was intended, she said,
rather as n return to those beliefs.
"Just as Jesus Christ came to be re-

teachings became obscured by His per-
sonaiity. so Mrs. Eddy is being deified

with the killing Of Jimmy Gushing. 16
years old, shot in the back. on roof IN

recently obtained the indictment of the
policemen. said yesterday he was ready
to proceed
that both policemen. who were then IN
plain clothes, fired their revolvers while
the boy was fleeing from them over the
roofs and that one shot struck and
killed him. The defence, conducted by
Eugene f. MCGEE. will contend that one
shot was fred on the roofs when one OF
the policemen stumbled. but that Jimmy
was probably killed by some one else.

through his work before the Grand Jury.

not been told of the suggestion as yet.
Judge Grain feels that the twenty-one
