(Retro= | | Mrts. Eddy saw that Mrs. Stetson had reached in Christian Science the point of ‘emergence from organi- zation, and was ready to begin the material “wholly spiritual” demonstration Christ's Christianity. Throughout a long period of years, Mrs. Stetson had worked out and completed the demon- stration of her church, First Church of Christ, York City, only in its seeming material structure, symbol of the Scientist, New not church: militant,” but in all the activities of her Christign Science work. She and her practitioners had healed every disease known to materia medica, many cases in the last stages having been pronounced by doctors as beyond all Juonan aid. Mrs. built up her organization through her teaching and her great executive ability, reinforced by her deep .\pmnmlrl_\ and her marvelous wnderstanding of Chri Stetson tian Seiénce, as taught her hy her lead- and Teacher, Mary Baker Fddy- an organization which was composed of er spiritually minded students, consecrated to the work of Christ.

This is mnot accomplished through death. or the destruction of the | Jwman body, but through spiritualiza- tion of thought. Thus, Mrs. Stetson was called, by her Ieader and Teacher, Mary Raker Eddy. to advance bevond the four simple fundamental rules of spiritual mathematics, and to enter the *“4th dimension™ of Spirit, which those who have not mastered the primitive rules of material organization, either of a so-called flesh body or of a so-called material church, cannot understand.

Mrs. Eddy writes: The discoverer of Christian Science finds the way less difficult when she has the high goal always before her thoughts. than when she counts her footsteps in endeavoring to reach it. (Science and Health, p. 426.) This teaching is unquestionably at variance with the notion of a material man, or a material universe. Jesus con- stantly exhorted his disciples to deny themselves—in other words, to repudi- ate their mortal sense of their own and other's material existence, and to be “born again.”” This “new birth” he in- and he allowed no conces- sisted upor sions to interfere with sts accomplish- ment. He said, “Ye must be born again.” This teaching, which Christ Jesus characterized metaphorically as His “fesh and blood.” and of which He said no man could attain the Kingdom of Heaven unless he ate and drank thereof — this teaching arouscd the antagonism of the carnal, or fleshly mind, which Christ Jesus set at nought. The great Ieader of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, who understands Christ’s teach- ing, was arriving at a point where she was to enter the demonstration over the belief of life in-matter, flesh, and, like Christ Jesus, was to lay down her (material) life, the so-called mate- Al sense of life. that she might take it again—-might take her real. spiritual life. or individuality as a child of God, as did Christ Jesus, the Wayshower to life.

These spiritual instructions from her cader and Teacher, Mary Baker | Eddy. were Mrs. Stetson’s guide and m&]nnmun from the time when M Eddy called her and her spiritually minded students ont of material organ- ization.

These hooks are all pub- lished by Messrs. . P. Putnam'’s Sons, New York € ity Vital Issues in Christian Science with Fac- simile Letters of Mary Baker Eddy; a hook of 405 pages.

A heol of over 1200 pages. Sermons and Other Writings on Christian Science; a Look of over 1,30 pages. Numerous smaller books and pamphlets, including “Poem: My Spiritual Aero- plane.” and “Greetings to the Dear Children.” Mrs. Stetson began, in 1920, a cam- .paxgn of education, |luough the Press of various American cities, on the sub- ject of Christian Science, which she still carries on, and will continue to do so. Mrs. Stetson, up to the present hour, has expended nearly $300.000 in this work. From the time of her first contact with Mrs. Eddy, Mrs. Stetson has recognized the fact that man, in his spiritual individuality as a child of God, is necessarily and essentially im- mortal. Therefare, Mrs. Stetson's prime motive in undertaking and main- taining this great work of ~piritml edu- cation and in giving genuine Christian Science to the world, thus ushering in the new spiritual era, is her spiritual impulsion to fulfill the request of her Leader and Teacher, Mary Baker Eddy, to testify to the unreality of “death” and the allness of Spirit, Life, God, until Mary Baker Eddy shall reappear as spiritual idea, as did Christ Jesus. This work is essential in Christian Science. in order that the final blow to the carnal, or mortal mind. which ends in so-called death. shall he dealt hv Christ. at his second appearing. which is imminent. St. Paul characterizes death in plain language, as “the last enemy.” In an article of fmomense spiritual sl- lumination, by Mrs. Stetson, which appeared in the press of New York and other American cities, inJune, 1920, Mrs. Stetson profested against the cele- bration of the death of Thomas Jeffer- son, as proclaimed by President Calvin Coolidge, explaining that Christ Jesus and Mary Baker Lddy clearly taught the wnreality of death. In this article Mrs. Stetson declares that the founders of our Republic. Washington. Jeffer- son. Monroe and their compatriots, lize, and obviously maintain, in this Nation, against the onslaughts of the dragon, or flesh man, their divine principles. upon which, under the inspiration of Christ, they founded and established the American Federal Republic. This spiritual fact, or phenomenon, is dis- cerned by those who have spiritual sight and umlcm.mdmg and, through them, obedience to its divine demrands is en- forced upon the Nation, in order that the purpose for which the American Federal Republic was formed, namely, to reveal the Kingdom of God, “on earth as it is in Heaven,” and to usher in the visible eternal reign of Christ on earth, shall he accomplished. The work thus outlined has occupied Mrs, Stetson’s entire time for the past 17 vears, or since Mrs. Eddy rose he- vond mortal vision. Mrs. Stetson h: now reached the point of spéritual un- derstanding where she knows that the second appearing of Christ is imminent. She freely proclaims this conviction over the air, by means of the radio, through Station WHAP, exhorting the whole Protestant field to awake, and watch for Christ. The Holy Bible de clares that the coming of the Son of man will be “in the air.,”" or a mental, spiritual illumination ; and this spiritual phenomenon will be and is incompre- hensible to those who remain in material organization, or the belief of life in matter, flesh, which both Christ Jesus and Mary Baker Eddy denounced. God is eternal Mind; but. to reckon Him, God, as matter, or flesh. is pantheism, pagan sdolatry, and blasphemy. Also, to reckon man, who was made in the image and, likeness,of (od. Spirit, in terms of matter, or flesh, equally pantheistic. pagan, and hl.hpnmmh Christ Jesus rebuked his dull disciples, who could not see hevond the fleshly form, with the words, “O fools, and slow of heart, to believe all that the prophets have spoken: ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?” (Luke xxiv., 23, 26.) s is During the past eight vears, Mrs. Stetson, and her Oratorio Society of the New York City Christian Science Institute, composed of three hundred of her spiritually minded students, who are musicians, have rendered seven concerts. The first of these was given in Aeolian Hall, the next three in Car- negie Hall. and. the capacity of this auditorium having been exceeded, the last three were presented in the Metro- politan Opera House, which was also filled to its capacity, Attendance at these concerts was by invitation only, the object heing to reach thesewho might be ready to hear and tg frofit by spiritual music, composed byldMr< I Stetson and her students, and sung with spiritual understanding. Of music, Mrs. Eddy writes: T Beloved brethren, have no discord over music. Hold in yourselves the true sense of harmony, and this sense will harmo | nize, unify and unseli you.

For several months, Mrs. Stetson’s student, and conductor of her Oratorio Society, John Warren [rh. has ar i ranged and supervised the rendering oi | the musical program of Radio Station WHAP. Mrs. Stetson has ireely given copies | of her hooks to all libraries of any size or importance throughout Amer | ica, Great Britain, Furope and even in | far-off Japan, and has received grateiul | acknowledgments of these giits.

Thus, Mrs. | Stetson has not only fulfilled the request | of her Teacher, Mary Baker Eddy. to “establish the Christianity of Christian Science in New York City.,” but she has extended its establishment to all | the world. The end of the sceming unice reign of unrighteousness, known as sin, disease, and death, or the carnal or fleshy mind, called the dragon, the belief of life in matter, or flesh, is fast | approaching. under the impulsion of | the second appearing of Christ, which is imminent. John's vision in the Apocalypse must and shall he fulfilled : And T saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the frst carth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And 1.
