The lawyers are not members of Mr*. Eddy’s church. Their course In advis ing delay 1* not approved by tha Chris tian Scientists, who want Mrs. Eddy the lawyers. It Is plain that they Intend g* of every possible to take advantage (scum for delay. In forecasting privately the prob able mure* of tha litigation they are Inalstent upon setting fbrtTi the many opportunities there are for procrasti nation In the New Hampshire law.
