Church as the structure of Truth and

Mrs Stetson," I asked, 'to what
do you attribute the recent expulsion
of the twenty-six members?"
Recently three Of my former trus-
tees attended corporate meeting of
the church, the first at which they
had been present during all these
years. Shortly thereafter came the
notification that the ,twenty-six men,
bers had been dropped, the charge be-
ing that they had not attended church
for one year Ecclesiastical churches
never drop a member except for seri-
Gus misdemeanors or criminal acts.
"It goes without saying that these
persons, whose high moral character
had never been questioned, would
have had to carry through life the
stigma Of having been dropped from
a church, which claims to be based
upon brotherly love, and in justice to
Christian Science, as well as to them
selves, they demanded the writ OF
mandamus, which compelled immedi-
ate replacement Of their names upon
the church rolls"

over the issuance Of this writ?''

from time to time, during the past

Firmer Foundation.

In one of the Christian Science
periodicals there was another letter
from Mrs. Eddy In which she asked
her dear brethren In New York IL
they were ready to build higher, on a
wholly spiritual foundation; that
Spirit was all, and there was no mat
ter. The reply Of Mrs. Stetson and
her trustees to this letter was that
they did desire to build on a wholly
spiritual foundation. Then came the
separation from the material organi-
zation.
l asked Mrs. Stetson what the re-
suit would be Of this convulslon or
revolution in the material organlza-
tlon. She replied, ut will give a
flrmer foundation to Christ's Chris
tianlty, or Christian Science, and will
finally establish Christian Science on
n spiritual foundation, according to
the teachings of Christ Jesus and
Mary Baker Eddy"
explained to Mrs. Stetson that /
had read In the press, accounts of
the expulsion Of twenty-slx of her
students from the church which she,
with her students, had built, on the
alleged grounds of non-attendance,
and of their immediate reinstatement
by those now In control of the church,
after proceedings had been begun in
court by the twenty-slx expelled
members.

During the eleven years since that
time, those who began with me to

However, they have contributed to the
support of the church and have at
tended the Sunday morning service to

They continued to occupy seats in the

Evidently this was Mrs. Stetson's
workroom. Though all was in perfect
order. there were visible signs Of the
intense activity which must be neces-
sary, In one charged with the respon-
sibility of standing for a Cause in
which hundreds Of thousands are said
to be interested. Pencils, pens and
writing blocks, letters and manu-
scripts were to be seen on her carved
mahogany desk, and on tables there
were copies Of the Science books,
periodicals and works Of reference.
On the walls I saw pictures Of

such as Daniel In the Lions Den,"
The general impression was one Of

thing else in getting Mrs Stetson's
views concerning the present and
future of the Christian Science
Church, the trustees and the board
Of directors Of which have been and
are engaged In litigation. I asked her
If the dissension, which has extended
throughout the entire organization,
would not terminate in the breaking
up OF the church organization.
"Oh, no, Mr.. Starr" Mrs. Stetson
replied. "The recent litigation be-
tween the directors and the trustees
In Boston is only a birth-throe Of
progress, the law Of immutable Truth,
which precipitates survival Of the
fittest. Chrlst's Christianity will sur
vive this sitting Of the false from the

Mrs. Stetson then referred me to
many facsimile letters from Mrs. Eddy,
which showed Mrs. Eddy's conf

Science. She also showed me a fac

Individual Growth.

Material organization is requisite
In the primary stages OF christian
Science and should not be disrupted,
any more than the primary grade or
school should be discontinued be-
cause some of its pupils have gradu-
ated into a higher grade.
The proper time for emergence
from material organization must be
determined by the individual growth
of each asplrant to the name Of
Christian Scientist. He must first be
able TO recognize, and be willing to
overcome, those false qualities within
himself which claim to oppose his
progress Spirltward. Until ready to
begin this warfare, he is not prepared
for spiritual organization, In which
the element OF unity results from love
for God and for thy neighbor as thy
SELF and within which factions, boy
colts and dlssensions are impossible.

piled to Mrs. Eddy's letter. informing
her that we did desire to build
