It is profusely illustrated, and, besides the most val- uable information about the society of today, it gives a sketch of the early days of Virginians In Washington, compiled from numerous volumes in the Congressional Library. The entire membership list is published with the Virginia as well as the Washington addresse appended.

(Signed) MARY BAKER G. EDDY. November 30, 1899. For many years I served as a member of the board of trustees of First Those who, in recent years, have assumed control of the material organiza- specify any one teaching or practicc of Augusta E. Stetson, C. S. D.. which is ‘ cience as ary Baker Eddy. although Mrs. Taylor and myself have re- peatedly made this demand upon them. I feel that T am entirely capable of interpreting Christian Science spiritually and my interpretation is the same as that taught by Mrs. Eddy’s loyal student, Mrs. Stetson, who had the inestimable benefit of more than twenty-five years of ntimate association and instruction from the Founder of Christian Science. When, in 1909, Mary Baker Eddy called her “dear brethren in New York” to begin to build “on a wholly spiritual foundation” (see Miscellany, page 357) Mrs. Stetson and her advanced students knew that this call meant that they should rise above the material form of organization, into a more highly spi"tual consciousness, where, to use Mrs. Eddy's words, in her message to her “dear brethren in New York,” “Spirit is infinite; therefore Spirit is all. *There is no matter.” The only reply to Mrs. Eddy's message was sent to her by Mrs. Stetson and her co-trustees of First Church of Christ, Scientist, New York City, among whom I was numbered, and Mrs. Eddy caused her message and our reply to be published together in the Christian Science Journal of February, 1909. This inevitably brought a mental separation from those who rerhained in ‘the plane of material organization. Yours very truly, JITV Foyerr WILLIAM H. TAYLOR, Director, WHAP. NEW YORK CITY, s February 15, 1926. Attention having heen directed by Charles E. Heitman, Christian Science Committee on Publication, in a recent letter to the radio editor of The New York Telegram, to the fact that the Christian Science Church organization has nothing to do with station WHAP, Franklin Ford, studio manager, in an inter- view has made the following statement as to the purposes of this station:— . Station WHAP is a station for public service. It is non-sectarian and non- political. It -has opened its broadcasting facilities to many of the a''est expo- nents of the topics of the day, with historical, constitutional and cultural lectures and classical music programs, omitting jazz music. “In the religious field, no personal or sectarian views are voiced in the form of sermons or otherwise. The Sunday afternoon program for some weeks past has been devoted to vocal and instrumenta! sacred music, with readings from the Bible and from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures and other writ- ings of Mary Baker Eddy, Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, read by Augusta E. Stetson, C. S. D. - “WHAP has no apology to offer for utilizing the services of Mrs. Stetson, who is the greatest living exponent for genuine Christian Science as promulgated by her Leader and Teacher, Mary Baker Eddy. The fact that Mrs. Stetson's interpretation of Christian Science is correct and in accordance with the teaching of Mary Baker Eddy may be determined by any disinterested inquirer, who will compare her writings with those of her Teacher, Mrs. Eddy, which are accepted by all Christian Scientists as fundamental, authoritative and standard. Mrs. Stetson’s published books include :—Vital Issucs in Christian Science with Fac- Simile Letters of Mary Baker Eddy; Reminiscences, Sermons and Correspond- ence, 1884-1913; Sermons and Other Writings on Christian Science; My Spirit- ual Aeroplanc, and Greetings and a Message to the Dear Children. “The doors of WHAP will always be open to broadcast the message of any one who comes to bear the Truth, realizing that Truth cannot be limited or monopolized by any sectarian organization.” Fnamdllio Jornd FRANKLIN FORD, Studio Manager, WHAP.
