Naturally there is considerable jubilation in the ranks of Christian Scientists at the victory of Mrs. Eddy in the American courts in a suit brought by her son, granddaughter, and nephew to secure an accounts of her financial affairs, an injunction against interference with her property and business, and the appointment of a receiver.

Interviewed yesterday by a representative of the Tribune, Mr. Frederick Dixon, the Christian Science Publication Committee in England, expressed his pleasure at the verdict, but at the same time affirmed that its announcement had been to him in no way a cause of surprise.

"All Christian Scientists knew from the first." said Mr. Dixon, "that Mrs. Eddy would be triumphant in this matter. In the first place, you will remember it was stated that Mrs. Eddy was suffering—indeed, dying—from cancer. Afterwards insanity was alleged. It was stated that she was not mentally fit to control her own affairs and estate. The wildest and most unscrupulous charges were circulated and it was freely stated that she was being robbed by her personal secretary, Calvin Frye.
