Says That Mrs. Eddy Will Arise
From the Dead, and This State
ment Will Seriously Affect Chris
tian Science Church.
Action of Directors of Church in Ac
cepting Her Death as Matter of
Fact Is Behifl freely Criticised hy
Mrs. Stetson's Following.
NEW YORK, Dec. .10. 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." OLDFIELD AND JEFFRiES

BATTLESHIPS TO
PLAY WAR GAME
Sixteen Battleships , Pass Out
Through Hampton Roads to Be
come "tho Enemy" in Greatest of
Games World Has Ever Seen.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 30.
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
