"This truth haa been revealed to me and in humble obedience to the will of ' God, I now openly declare the facts. In , this message I appeal to all honest Christian Scientists to cooperate with me for a purification of our church. I : am not writing rashly or acting hastily. Within the last three weeks I have been within the so-called home of Mrs. Eddy end have studied at close range the fraud, the trickery and the revolting mystery by which the Boston organiza tion seeks to perpetuate the pernicious fiction of an unseen and unseeable lead er. "This profane mockery will continue indefinitely unless honest Christian Set ' entlsts who worship God and not the fetish of a poor old woman's name, com riine to expose and exterminate the fraud. The verv life of Christian Sci ence Is Involved, and It is in the name of Christian Science the faith which alone can lift humanity out of the slough of error- that I call upon you to act. ' "As a preliminary step I ask you to confer with me without delay, either In person or by letter. To each of you I will fully reveal every fact in my pos session bordering on conditions which .v surround the fiction of leadership main tained at Boston and Brookllne "I will tell vou why there is no Chris tian Science church at the IMaza hotel in this city, although its organisation had been practically perfected.

There were witnesses to this Interview, and every word is carefully preserved. told that agent of the frightened tricksters in control at Boston that to see and talk with the hidden leader was all that I asked. It was then that lie wept. I had asked tne one impossible thing. "The time has come when Christian Science must purge Itself of dishonesty. Mary Baker G. Eddy now lives in his tory only. The fetish of her name Is all that remains. -"That name, honored by us all, has become. the breastwork of falsity and f raud. I say this in deepest loyalty to the cause of Christian Science and in truest devotion to the memory of the woman through whom God revealed the truth and gave to the world the science ; of healing. "But the hour Is at hand for a reor ganisation of the faith on lines of hon esty, unity and purity.
