her people for awhile, and rise to higher
spiritual power to demonstrate her teach
ings She will, like Christ Jesus, prove
the spiritual fact Of scientific being. VIZ,
that Life is real and death is an Illusion.
Her message to us, and our reply, as
surfing her that we desired to begin ito
build on a wholly spiritual founda-
tion," was followed closely by my trial
before the Christian Science board OF di-
rectors, who gave the opinion to which
Mr.. Gilmore refers, viz, that was, "F1rst,
working against the interests of the mem
bers Of the church who are not her fol-
lowers, and against the interests OF this
church. Second, persisting in teachings
and practices which are contrary to Chris
tian Science"
The stenographic reports Of that So
called trial." testify that they declared
theb were mortal; I persisted In my de-
fence of present Immortality. History re-
peats itself. Paul reports this state of
!
the preaching of Christ was unto the
Jews 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 dH There is no matter u 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
Science here declare that my teachings
and practices, my spiritual Interpretation
Of the Holy Bible and Science and
Health acith Key to the Scriptures, by
Mary Baker Eddy, were the antithesis, or
we're diametrically opposed to their concep-
ton, their teachings and their practices of
Christian Science. I stand Ynhinchingly
in defence of my position, viz, that Esprit
is infinite: therefore Spirit is all. There
is no NATTER" 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
Christ's 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. StetsOn's 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 I
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 ION wholly spiritual foundation,"-
Christ, Truth. Certainly, Mr.. Gilmore
would not Intentionally consign me to
oblivion. Love always has, and always
win deliver me, AZ Love delivered Joseph
from the 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 Miscel-
lany, 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 SUI
pervision, nor during her earthly expert
ence, but was issued nearly three years
after Mrs. Eddy had risen above material
