Mrs. Eddy saw that I must under
stand the claim Of envy and jealousy in
order to cope with these mental quail
ties; and the teaching which she has
impaired to me on this subject has
enabled me to meet every attack Of the
enemies of good, in their secret sugges-
tions and sudden sallies, with the
spiritual power Of Truth and Love,
against which the gates of hell cannot
prevail. If the struggling Christian
Scientists had been permitted to inves-
tigate my teaching upon mental self
defence in Christian Science, which is
found in my book, "reminiscences, Ser
mons, and Correspondence" on pages
487-4S9, and which volume they have
been forbidden to read under penalty Of
accommodation, they would have es-
capped the pit and the fall and would be
found to-day rejoicing in emancipation
from mental slavery, and demonstrating
the power Of ever-present Truth and

boycott and suppress; and aver that
in all my writings you will not find one
statement that is not confirmed by the
writings o. Mary Baker Eddy, the Dis
coverer and Founder of Christian
Science. My teaching is neither hidden
nor obscure, but plainly set forth in
print, for all to investigate and compare
with that of Mrs. Eddy, and on this
basis 1 am happy to be judged by hui
manity. Perhaps it is the animus of
Principle publicly to enlighten the peo-
pie and the Field of Christian Science,
by settling the question in a court, as
to the correctness of my teaching, which
they have heretofore been forbidden, by
my opponents, to investigate. Of this
I am confident Truth and Love is
emancipating humanity from mental
slavery, and that behind the so-called
material man and material universe
"standeth God amid the shadows, keep
ing watch above His own"
The charge made against me by the
Boston board Of directors in their find
ing, to which you allude, viz, that of
working against the interests of the
members of the Church who were not
my students, is equally false and un-
founded In letter to me, published
on page 358 of Miscellany, Mrs. Eddy
declared:
'You are aware that animal
magnetism is the opposite If divine
Science, and that this opponent is
the means whereby the conflict
against Truth is engendered and
developed. Beloved! you need to
watch and pray that the enemy OF
good cannot separate you from
your Leader and best earthly !
friend"
Mrs. Eddy knew that she had thor
oughly taught me self-defence in Chris
tian Science. Early in my Christian
Science experience she called me to her
with the following letter, which I ap-
pend in facsimile:

of place In obscure portions Of the
shelves; they have even been burned,
as have been informed by some who
afterwards repented Of this act, COM
parable only to the burning Of che
Bible by ecclesiastical tyrants OF the
medi@val ages.
To-day, the same element in the
carnal mind is at work to prevent, II
this were not impossible, the under
standing of my trial" as that element
which attempted aforetime to withhold
the Bible from the people, before God
freed them to read its sacred pages.
In past years, Mrs. Eddy's works have
met with similar opposition, but from
this they have been delivered. The
hour is coming, nay, is now at hand,
when the struggler for an understand
ing of Christ's Christianity, or Christ
ian Science, will also read my books
without fear Of punishment, and learn
the truth concerning my history and my
teaching of genuine Christian Science,
as promulgated by Mary Baker Eddy.
In regard to the authenticity Of the
letters and kilograms inserted in the
last pages of the volume, Miscellany,
to one of which you have alluded, and
which have been printed over the name
of Mrs. Eddy, the facts were brought
out in testimony during the trial now
at issue between the Boston board of
directors, and the trustees of the pub
fishing society, that Mrs. Eddy did not
see all her letters and kilograms, but
that some of them were answered by
others without her knowledge; also
that the volume entitled Miscellany
was not published during Mrs. Eddy's
earthly experience, nor under her
supervision, but was issued nearly
three years after Mrs. Eddy had risen
above material vision; also that the
package of manuscript for Miscellany
which Mrs. Eddy had prepared, sealed,
and dated August 21, 1909, had passed
. through the hands Of the Boston board
of directors before publication; and
they have admitted in an official report
that they inserted matter other than
that which Mrs. Eddy had placed in her
sealed package. The burden of proof
that these letters and kilograms are
authentic, rests upon those officials
through whose hands this package
passed before publication. have
never believed one statement that has
been attributed to Mrs. Eddy in Mis-
cellany, which contradicts her teach
ing, her statements to me during more
than twenty-five years, and which
reverses and traduces her courageous
character.
Mrs. Eddy indeed entrusted me with
"momentous move,' when she sent
me to New York City to establish the
Christianity Of Christian Science" I
shall continue to be faithful to her
charge never to forsake her, as she en-
treated in her letter, from which in
sert an excerpt below; and genuine
Christian Science will never again ''be
lost as aforetime."
Evening star., 1921-10-02

First Church Of Christ, Scientist,
New York City, which was conceived
and brought forth through the spiritual
labors of myself and my devoted STU
dents, who were spiritually illumined,
can never become the demonstration of
others, either by seizure and occupancy,
or as the result of an arbitrary exercise
of authority by the Boston board of d.
rectors, in a so-called trial and excom-
munication, in which this board as
sumed the functions of judge, jury; and
prosecuting attorney. On this point l
quote further from your letter:
MAY we say in all love, that
when you have in meekness and
honesty confessed and corrected
the faults for which your name was
dropped as member of The
Mother Church, you may rise to the
concept that our revered Leader
had of you when she united her
name with yours in the cornerstone
Of this Church, and then you may
begin to build on wholly spiritual
foundation, as the members of this
Church are Loyalty, honestly and
meekly striving to do."
My name was dropped by the Boston
board of directors from the member
ship roll of The Mother Church organi-
zation, because my understanding of
Christian Science, gained from Mrs.
Eddy's personal instruction during
more than twenty-five years Of close
association, did not conform to the con-
cept of Christian Science which they
held. My teaching was indeed diamet-
fo fh1i os~
understanding, and their mode of
action. They declared, during this So
called trial, or Conference" that they
were mortal noaU, but would attain to
Immortality at some future time while
stood resolutely for present immor-
tality, as Mrs. Eddy had taught me, and
which she confirms on page 242 of her
book, The First Church of Christ,
Scientist, and Miscellany, when she re-
plies to an inquirer who had been sim
ilarly catechjzed: t
"You can never demonstrate
spirituality until you declare your
J self to be immortal and understand
j that you are so. Christian Science
is absolute; it is neither behind the
point of perfection nor advancing .
towards it; it is at this point and
must be practised therefrom.
AS to the written opinion of the Bos-
ton board of directors, that I was
teaching pretended Christian Science"
I aver that my teaching was the very
opposite of their teaching and practice,
but in strict conformity with that of
my Leader and Teacher, Mrs. Eddy;
and invite them, as well as yourselves,
as the present board of trustees of First
Church of Christ, Scientist, New York
City, to search my published books, ser
mons and articles on Christian Science,
from 1884 to date, which the directors
and their adherents have endeavored to

aroused, and whose hostile insinuations

We learn, also, that since these books, pub
liyhed by Messrs. G. P. Putnam's Sons, New
York City, have been before the public, the
members Of the local churches throughout the
Christian Science field have been warned
against them, and have been forbidden to read
niissai from The Mother Church.
Mrs. Stetson suggests the medieval days, the
burning Of the Bible, and excessive fear Of the
enlightening influence of these volumes: Are
the people who compose the membership Of
the Christian Science churches not capable Of
judging for themselves whether or not Mrs.
Stetson's writings and teachings are accord

Rosemary Syrup and
Bottling Corporation
Stockholders Meet

The stockholders of tie Rose
mary Syrup and Bottling Corpor-
alton held an notwithstanding
in the offices of Mason, Long e.
Matthews Wednesday afternoon.
The temorary officers which
are DR.. T. W. M. Long, president,
L. G. Shell, vice.president, G. L.
Hayes. Jr., vice-president, j. T.
Stainback, treasurer and E. A.
Matthews, secetary were retain
ed, also the board of directors
which includes the above named
officers with W. S. Hancock, J.
A. Moore, W. T. Councill and L.
B. Suiter. of Scotland Neck.
Probably the most important
action taken at this meeting was
the decision of stockholders to
buy the syrup rights in North
Carolina for Coa.Ola, the new
drink that is actually better
than other Cola drink, instead of
six counties as originally planned,
and to increase the capital stock
from 100000 to $4,000.
At this meeting the stock
holders got down to brass tacks"
and made plans for the beginning,
in the near future of the erection
of their plant, which will be a
two story brick structure located
on the corner of Roanoke Avenue
and Thirteenth Street. The lower
floor will contain the bottling
plant and the second floor the
laboratory where the syrup will
be made will be located.
As soon as this plant begins
operation branch houses will be
opened all the state as quick
ly as possible.
The increase in the capital
stock has placed more of the
stock on the market which the
directors expect to dispose of in
a short time. The officers believe
they have a good opportunity to
build up a strong company that
will pay big dividends and are
now offering our citizens a chance
to share with them. Any Of the
directors or officers will be glad
to talk with interested parties.
