LEGITIMATE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
IT'S APPALLING MORTALITY EXPLAINED

Mrs. Eddy's Church Manual this great de-
sign of conscious evolution. No one in the
circle understood that increasing health and
progress depended upon their continued col
lectivie support of each new law of Life as
it was discovered. While the membership
basked in the sunshine of prosperity and
health Mary Baker Eddy, struggling alone
against tremendous odds, passed on.
After her death the entire membership
broke every one of the provisions she had
established to guard against fatal mistakes
within the circle, insure the recognition of
new spiritual discovery, and impel uninter-
rupted advance.
The Manual covenant involved nothing
less than ultimate world reconstruction,
through conscious spiritual evolution 1t was
the acme of her achievement, offered to the
human race through Christian Science. The
immoral abandonment of this covenant has
exactly reversed the good it was intended to
bring. Instead of health has come disease;
in place of longevity, increased mortality; in
stead of progress there is retrogression.
Within that circle today there is blind
adherence to political authority, but no
spiritual leadership. The eventual discoverer
of the system of evolution contained in Mrs.
Eddys Manual has been officially rejected.
Legitimate healing has degenerated into UNI
certain faith cure Thousands have resigned
from the ranks. Other thousands have died.
The growing danger includes every member
but is most acute within the official circle
of teachers, practitioners, and officers. Every
Director appointed by Mrs. Eddy to execute
her Bylaws died in open diSobedience to a
sacred trust, with the significant exception of
the one Director who eventually accepted the
discovery of Mrs. Eddy's system of govern
ment, and who now supports its development.
Officials of the Boston organization today
deeply involved in the misdirection of its af-
fairs, blandly assert that they Garry on the
work, in full accord with Mrs. Eddy's Man
ual, and appeal to her will and other legal
documents to prove that Mrs. Eddy expected
the Church to continue in the event of her
death! Assuredly she did, but how? By
obedience to the Manual terms or by disre-
gard of the very Bylaws specifically intended
to come into play when her handwritten con-
sent could no longer be obtained? Obedience
to the laws of Christian Science and the exact
terms of the Manual contract are the only
proofs of legitimacy.
When the cause of the increasing distress
within the Mother" Church is finally seen
to be the common consent of its own members
to violate the scientific .covenant, obstruct
spiritual embodiment, and rely on mere nu-
merical accretion. as proof of progress, their
consent will be suddenly withdrawn. There
will then be an exodus from that stricken
body, as from plague infected city or a
sinking ship.
Legitimate Christian Science,
under scientific government,
maintains health and happiness
and unfolds Immortality.
The Christian Science Parent
Church lovingly urges its be-
loved brethren of the out-dated
counterfeit Boston organization
to return to Mrs. Eddy's system
of organization in time to avert
further catastrophe.
