Split in the Christian Science Body

A split has taken place in the Christian science body. A portion of the followers of Mrs. Eddy have revolted, under the leadership of the Washington News Letter, and have established their headquarters at Boston. The chief grievance that they have against Mrs. Eddy seems to be that she claims the exclusive prerogative of educating Christian science teachers (at one dollar a person).
