George W. Glover Declares Christian
Science Is Not a Religion
But a Business

Concord, N. H., Nov. 15.—Affidavits
alleging that Christian Science
is not a religion, but a privately
owned business conducted for money
profit, were filed in the superior
court today in the case of George W.
Glover of Lead, S. D., who seeks
to have set aside the residuary be-
quest made by his mother, Mrs.
Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the denomination
to the First Church of
Christ, Scientist of Boston.
The plaintiff in his petition which,
if allowed would cause the bequest
estimated at $3,000,000 to revert to
the natural heirs says in part that
"Christian Science is not a religion,
but a world business: a privately
owned business conducted by its owners
for money profits to themselves
and that the execution of said attempted
trust will result, and was intended
by the creator of said attempted
trust to result in the private pecuniary
profit of the owners of said
business.

"That the business described in
the foregoing, viz: The owning, vending
and practicing of the so called
'religion of Christian Science,' as
taught by Mrs. Eddy, by said legatee
and its members has on the
whole been grievously harmful to the
health of the people of this state
and in the future will continue to
be harmful, and particularly so if
promoted and extended by means of
Mrs. Eddy's residuary gifts."
