Mrs. Stetson is referred to as one
set aside from the material organi-
zation that she might be devoted to
the wholly spiritual work of pre-
serving the pure teaching during the
tremendous universal chemicaliza-
ton" This setting aside had to be
done in such way as to conceal
her and her work entirely from the
materialists." Not understanding
the move, nevertheless, "the spirit
ually advanced among Mrs. Stetson's
students stood faithfully by their
teacher"
Our author looks hopefully to the
day when Mrs. Stetson will again
be acknowledged as the loyal STU
dent of wise Leader, and her
church as the fruitful branch of the
Mother Vine" NO board COM
posed of FIVE men," she is sure, "can
dispossess any one of his or her
demonstration"

ORK WORLD:
King of kings and Lord of lords"
All of Gods children are kings,
rulers by reason OF their perfect un-
derstanding of their perfect Prin-
clple, divine Mind; but the leading
member is the governing Head. 1t
is because OF this immutable fact.
that the spiritual leadership of the
Christian Science Church" can never
be held by any other than its Dis
coverer and Founder.
In the Manual of her Church, The
Mother Church, Mrs. Eddy instructs
Christian Scientists throughout the
world that they are to use the term
Leader, in metaphysical sense, as
applied to herself alone. As Chris
tian Scientists, we recognize "the
spiritual leadership of the Christian
Science Church" to be unchangeable.
and inalienable, from its piscoverer
and Founder, now so widely known
to the world as Mary Baker Eddy,
but understood by her advanced fol-
lowers to be identical with the
Christ idea. that has always led the
children of Israel after the Spirit.
1t is the same Christ, rejecting the
Lite and Love Principle; the beget-
ter and conceiver of all real crea-
ton. There is no other generation,
tor Adam-Eve is false sense of the
compound Christ, whose false ma
terlal begetting and conception
bring forth a counterfeit universe,
which begins in shame and suffering
and ends in fear and death. The
onncom'ng Christ. with his and her
offspring. is driving this false crea-
ton to self-extinction.
Christ, whose right it is, shall
reign. The government shall be
upon his shoulder; and his name
shall be called Wonderful, Counsel
lor, The mighty God, The everlast-
ing Father, The Prince of Peac."
Mrs. Stetson and her students,
who are spiritually illumined, ap-
prehend the imminence of Christ,
the Son of God, according to his
promise that he would come again.
Uohn xiv, 81
1t is her priceless understanding
of these cardinal points of meta
physics that constitutes Mrs. Stet-
son. Mrs. Eddy's frst-born student
OF spiritual conception, and causes
her to be heir of God and Joint heir
with Christ" Through the press,
Augusta E. Stetson is teaching the
world Christian Science. as taught
her by Mary Baker Eddy. She is,
and has been for Thirty years,
this city. the gospel of present i'm
mortality and of the actuality of
spiritual man-Christ, the imagine

In this work Mrs. Stetson has OBJ
tanned, and will retain, her position
as teacher and demonstrator of
Christian Science. as the degree of
c. S. D., conferred upon her by her
Leader and Teacher, Mrs. Eddy, in
dicates.
There is and can be bu. one
Leader of Christian Science, the
Christ. first apprehended as the man
Jesus and in this, our day, as the
woman Mary Baker Eddy.
