her message to us, and our reply. as
suring her that we desired to begin "to
ouiid on wholly spiritual founda-

before the Christian Science board of d.
rectors, who gave the opinion to which
Mr. Gilmore refers, viz, that was, First.
working against the interests OF the men,
oers OF the church who are not her fol-
lowers, and against the interests OF this
church. Second, persisting in teachings

tian Science"
The stenographic reports of that So
called trial" testify that they declared
shey were mortal; I persisted in my de-
fence OF present Immortality. History re-
peats itself. Paul reports this state Of
mentality in the following words, that
the preaching Of Christ was unto the
Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the
Greeks foolishness; but unto them which
are called Ito build on the foundation of
Christ, viz, spirit is infinite: therefore
Spirit Is al. There is no matter ~ both
Jews and Greeks" to these Christ is IN
deed the power and wisdom Of God"
Referring to the above opinion of the
board Of directors that my teachings and
practices" were contrary to Christian
Science" here declare that my teachings
and practices, my spiritual Interpretation
Of the Holy Bible and Science and
Heclth tc+th Key to the Scriptures, BY
Mary Baker Eddy, we're the antithesis, or
were diametrically opposed to their concep-
ton, their teachings and their practices Of
| Christian Science. I stand unf1inchingly
in defence Of my position. viz, that ''Spirit
Is infinite; therefore Spirit is otI There
Is no matter" in other words, that God
is the only creator, the infinite All, filling
all space with His infinite ideas. who re-
fleet eternal Life, Truth, and Love, and
who compose a spiritual universe.
The problem Of those. who believed that
my teachings and practices were Con
trary to Christian Science" Is to-day upon
the worlds blackboard. God Is the right
eous judge. He will weigh them in His
balances, in which all who claim to be
Christs followers and demonstrators of
the Mind of Christ, must sooner or later
find themselves
Again, permit ME TO refer TO Mr. Gil
mores statement, viz, Mrs Stetsons re-
lations with the Christian Science move
ment terminated with her dismissal from
The Mother Church in 1909 Evidently
in Mr.. Gilmore's mind. the expression,
"Christian Science movement" means
merely the activities OF the material or
ganization. Mrs. Eddy's definition of
! Church, is The structure of Truth and
Love- Life, Spirit, God, Mind, the great
First Cause, the only creator. is the source
Of my life,-therefore my relation to the
source Of my being The Mother Church.
The structure Of Truth and Love-" God
cannot be Terminated There is no
"dismissal' from this Church Surely
Mr. Gilmore does not understand that
cannot be separated from The Mother
Church, and those who teach that an idea
can be separated from its Principle, God,
do not comprehend Christian Science
as promulgated by Christ Jesus and
Mary Baker Eddy. We are beginning to
build "on a wholly spiritual foundatlon,"-
Christ, Truth. Certainly, Mr. Gilmore
would not Intentionally consign NE to
oblivion. Love always has, and always
will deliver me. as Love delivered Joseph
from tie pit into which his brethren cast
him.
In regard to the authenticity OF the let
ters and kilograms imputed to Mrs. Eddy,
and printed in the last pages OF MisceI-
lcnp, and which, Mr.. Gilmore claims, ex-
plain my true situation the public
should know that this volume. Miscellany,
was not published under Mrs. Eddy's su-
pervfsion, nor during her earthly exreri-
ence. but was issued nearly three years
after Mrs. Eddy had risen above material
