Mary J Lestor, deceased.
; Atlanta.—Many newspapers have
accepted and published an unfair
news story of a report of Frederic
Dodge of Boston, Mass., Master in the
Dittemore litigation.
John V. Dittemore, a former director
of The First Church of Christ, Scien
tist, in Boston, was dismissed from his
position as director in March, 1919. In
April, 1919, Mr. Dittemore filed a suit
against the remaining directors of the
Christian Science Church, protesting
that he had been illegally discharged.
The news story above referred to is
an extremely unfair account of Judge
Dodge’s report. While purporting to
state or quote the Master’s findings as
to why the Directors voted to dismiss
Mr. Dittemore, it neither states nor
quotes the Master’s main finding on
this subject. This finding Is in num
bered paragraph 57 of the Master’s re
port, and reads as follows:
“I do not find, however, that their
preparation and adoption of the reso
lution to dismiss him was wholly in
duced by feelings against him of the
above character. I find that the con
trolling motive which Induced its adop
tion by the defendants who voted for
it was the desire on their part to re
move the obstacle presented by the
plaintiff’s, presence on the Board to
their attempts to arrange a compro
mise with the Trustees; though they
acted the more readily under said con
trolling motive by reason of their will
ingness to disassociate themselves
from a colleague with whom they
could not agree and whom they did not
lilto. Except to the above extent, I
am unable to find that their action
was not in good faith.”
The account in question goes on
from beginning to end with a coloring
that would not only exlionerate Mr.
Dittemore from any wrong doing, but
establish him aB one of a much higher
moral and spiritual standing than the
defendant directors. Right here it
Bhould be khown that during the past
four years resolutions of loyalty and
approval have been sent io the Di
rectors who dismissed Mr. Dittemore,
.by nearly all of the Christian Science
churches and societies in tho world.
These resolutions, adopted by regular
official business meetings of the
,branoh Christian Science churches
and societies, have been .repeated
numbers of times, and today the
Christian Science members stand al
most as a unit in love and harmony-in
their loyalty to the Directors of tho
Mother Church, in upholding tho Man
ual which constitutes tho governing
laws of the Christian Science organi
zation.
While the findings of Judge Dodge
were in favor of Mr. Dittemore in con
firming his position, it should be
known that Judge Dodge’s decision
was reversed in the case of Herbert
W. Eustace, et al., vs. Adam Hr Dickey,
et al., when the Supreme Court. of
Massachusetts upheld the Directors
in their legal dismissal of two trustees
of the Christian Science Publishing So
ciety in March, 1919.
The Ditttemore case is also going be
fore the Supreme Court, and consist
ent with the decision of the Eustace
V. Dickey case, it is expected that
there will bo another reversal. In the
first case, the Christian Science Di
rectors were found to be acting legally
according to the church Manual. The
Boston Post of November 24, 1921, re
ported: "The Directors of The First
Church of Christ, Scientist, have won
a complete victory today in their con
troversy with the Trustees of the
Publishing Society. They have the
power to remove all the Trustees or
any of them. This was decided yes
terday when the full bench of the
Supreme Judicial Court handed down
its long awaited decision.”
The Dittemore account, just publish
ed, is also unfair in that it fails to
mention the controversy with tlie late
Trustees of the Publishing Society and
Mr. Dittemore’s participation therein,
although tho master continually re
ferred to this subject, and mentioned
it explicitly in bi3 finding as to “the
controlling motive” of the Directors.
The master also disclosed Mr. Ditto-
more's attitude toward Section 6 of
Article I of the Manual, but the ac
count in question is also silent on this
point. This by-law reads: ‘‘The Chris
tian Science Board of Directors shall
consist of five members. They Bhall
fill a vacancy occurring on that Board
after the candidate is approved by
the PaBtor Emeritus. A majority vote
or the request of Mrs. Eddy shall dis
miss a member.”
The account in question is nothing
less than propaganda calculated .'to
produco public sentiment against the
form of church government estab
lished by Mrs. Eddy, and to discredit
the present Directors in their conduct
and motives. Tho by-laws which au
thorized the Directors to dismiss Trus
tees or Directors were established by
Mary Baker Eddy and the Directors
are obediently fulfilling their obliga
tions In their varied responsibilities.
