Tlmt Mrs. Augusta Stetson's statements that Mrs. Eddy will rlso from tlio dead will Borloiioly affect the Christian Sclenco church Is tho belief of many ecclesiastical workers and others here. A schlcm that will dlvido the church oven Js predicted by friends of Mrs. Stetson who see In tho ques tion of resurrection brought to tho fore by Mrs. Eddy's death a signal victory for the excommunicated ri val of tho dead loader. Tho action of tho directors of the church In accepting Mrs. Eddy's death as a fact Is being freely crit icised by followers of Mrs. Stetson, who think tho directors should have waited for a "manifestation." Mem bers of tho church who Lollovo that Mrs. Eddy vlll eventually return, to life will soon Jjo numbered among followers of Mrs. Stetson, friends of tho latter say.. Mrs. Stetson's statements regard ing the resurrection of Mrs. Eddy aro bolloved by many to have been made with tho object of preventing tho church directors from abolishing the position of pastor emeritus, hold by Mrs. Eddy. An amendment to tho science manual declaring tho po sition forovor vacant Is said to bo un der consideration. Tho Stetsonltes think that tho elimination of Mrs. Eddy Is rank apostasy. "Nothing In tho teachings of Chris tian Sclenco or In tho writings of Mrs. Eddy Justify any statements looking' to physical resurrection, and any tendoncy In that direction Is ab normal In tho view of Scientists," said Eugene Cox, chairman of tho Chrls tion Sclenco publicity commltteo for tho otato of Now York. Cox's statement was given out In 'answer to statements of Mrs. Augus ta Stetson, excommunicated member of tho First church of Now. York, that Mrs. Eddy taught that she would return 'to earth after death. "Any attempt," said Cox, "to dolfy Mrs. Eddy or to mako her an eqiinl with God and with Jesus Christ was equally repugnant to tho normal teachings of Christian Sclenco. Qnco when she wns asked If she wore a second Christ, Mrs. Edjdy said: " 'Evon this shocks mo. What 1 am la for God to decla'o In his In finite mercy: there was, Is and can be one God and Jesus of Nazareth Is such.' "Such authoritative statements from Mrs. Eddy horsolf should over put at rest tho wild, visionary Ideas or her resurrection or her roap- ponranco In bodily form. "Tho statements toward tho deifi cation of Mrs. Eddy aro promulgat ed by oiio who was excommunicated fiir Incorporate teachings and prac tice of Christian Sclenco and this should settlo any doubts regarding tho propriety of her excommunica tion."

Si.xtccu battleships of the Atlantic, fleet passed out through Hampton Roads today and became the "en emy" in the most extensive Avar game ever played by tho United Slaves navy. Simultaneously n scout fleet of seven vessels took up tho defense of the nation against the invaders. As soon as the battleships passed from sight they severed all connec tion with the shore, and from now until the time they are due to report at Ouautunanio for winter practice they will endeavor to keep their whereabouts a secret. All commu nication with the navy department was severed and eomninndors of the different ships have carlo blanch to go wherever they please. The purposo of the game as out lined by the department is for tho "attacking" fleet to appear within range of some part of tho coast without its presenco having been re ported by the scout fleet, The game resembles hide and seek more than a series of naval man euvers. 10 IGNORE STORY OF MRS.
