Granite State Free Press

What seems to us a vital point in the Eddy case appears to have been given little weight in the inquiry, even by her counsel. The property was not acquired in the ordinary course of business. It does not rightfully belong to her relatives. It would be a travesty of equity to so regard or treat it. It were enough if Mrs. Eddy make a fair and reasonable provision for her son, and there was no reason to suspect her of intentions to do otherwise. The bulk of the property belongs justly to the religious cult of which she is the head, and should properly be applied, before and after Mrs. Eddy's death, to its propagation .... It has not appeared that there was danger of its being turned to personal and unwarranted uses. If it should be, even, why should the New York World publishers concern them selves? George W. Glover, but by its suggestion, would never have brought the suit. Supposing somebody near Mrs. Eddy should misappropriate the property, whose business is it but that of Christian Scientists? And they were and are content. They are intelligent and good citizens. Nobody can deny that .... We like fair play; and we do not think that Mrs. Eddy and her adherents should have been given all this trouble or subjected to this expense.
