NEW YORK, Jan. 10. Arthur K.
Stilwell, railroad builder and financier,
Is telling the public that ho has recelv.
ed dream messages direct from Mary
Q. Haker Eddy, founder of the Christ
Ian Science church, telling him how
the church should be conducted. He
believes the messages arc authentic.
'mu. kli.l that fru U'flK
concerned In the supernatural conver-!
nations which Ktllwell claims to have
had with persons in the "other world"
came in a series of articles hy Sllhveil,
published in the New York Evening
World, In which Stilwell casually men
tioned the fact that he had been in
communication with the Christian
Science leader.
On FTIdayhe text of these messages
wns published.
In his "dreams,'' Stilwell says, Mrs.
Kddy told him thn't she had long been
tunkinir for some one to whom she
could give advice regarding the
church. Phe asked him to ndvlse trie
directors of the church to resign,, and
to reinstate Mrs. Stetson, who has been
nuuteri from her membership. She
urged the formation of a new board of
directors, with one member elected
from each of the continents where the
church has a foothold, Stlhvell said. .
Another interesting phase of the
messages was the statement ascribed
by Btilwell to Mrs. Kddy that if she
were to write again her "science of
l.ealth and key to the scriptures," she
-i.l,1 rhnnin many pnssuges, but she
said that thi was too late to attempt
mien a change. She pointed out that
fctllwell'a ''neutrality,'' he being outside
the church, should lend Itself to fur
therlng the work of restoring peace to
. the organization.
