it was only a question of whether she would be appointed or institute a coup. This was of concern to Eddy, who took opportunists to make it clear that she would not appoint Stetson as her successor. Eddy had maintained a regular correspondence with Stetson since she had gone to New York, and had consistently and increasingly chastised Stetson for her radical views, especially for Stetson's comparisons between Eddy and Jesus Christ. Eddy tried one last time to bring Stetson back into the fold in December of 1908, inviting her to her home in Massachusetts to talk. Stetson expressed repentance to Eddy, and said she would not build any branch churches to rival the Mother Church. However, in 1909, Stetson again sent Eddy a worshiping letter to the point of heresy. It was the last straw, and Eddy asked the Board of Directors of the Mother Church to investigate Stetson and the conditions of her New York church. She also wrote to Stetson, telling her to "awake" from the temptation to deify her.
194:(known as the Mother Church) in Boston, which was the headquarters of the Christian Science movement. The $ 1,200,000 church edifice on 96th Street and Central Park West was dedicated free of debt in November 1903. Stetson moved into a luxurious $ 100,000 mansion next to the church built and furnished by her followers for her in 1904, which was viewed speciously within the Mother Church and the wider Christian Science movement, as rumors that Stetson wanted to supplant Eddy as leader of the movement spread. As one historian wrote, at least some part of Stetson wanted Eddy dead so she could replace her as head of the church. Stetson also privately planned to move the headquarters of the Christian Science church from Boston to her home in New York after Eddy's death. Those who opposed Stetson's wishes continued to be ostracized or even excommunicated from her church, including the future First Reader of The Mother Church, 257:, and was often the subject of controversy. William Taylor, a Stetson follower who was the official licensee for the station, was expelled from the Mother Church for his involvement, and the Mother Church issued a circular denouncing WHAP's anti-Catholic and anti-Jewish broadcasts. Stetson's former church in New York condemned her for the station, saying that she was in "no way connected with the Christian Science movement" and that the church opposed all "attacks on other religions or religionists." In 1927, Stetson predicted her own immortality, and in 1928, shortly before her death, she announced she was withdrawing from her radio station. Stetson died on October 12, 1928, in 162:. Stetson however refused to acknowledge any Christian Science churches in New York other than her own. Stetson's rivalry with Lathrop was well known, and she and her followers even tried to purchase Second Church's building lot, which Lathrop's church had recently purchased to build their church edifice on, out from underneath them. By the 1890s, Stetson began losing support even among some of her star pupils such as Blanche Hersey Hogue and Carol Norton. Another teacher of Christian Science, Edward A. Kimball, wrote Eddy: "Mrs. Stetson's fellow scientists are getting thoroughly disgusted with her... If she does not begin to reform soon, she will find herself rather lonesome." 215:
had begun keeping a diary of what was said in them after becoming disturbed by what he heard during the meetings. His diary included entries on the fear Stetson's inner circle had of her; her hatred of other churches in New York; that Stetson now believed Eddy was God and that Stetson herself was Christ; and how she tried to harm and even kill others through hypnotism, even at one point attempting to hypnotize Strickler himself in a "sing-song" voice. The Directors used his diary to frame yes or no questions for Stetson's inner circle in order to get straight answers from them.

letter by Eddy to side with the Mother Church in Boston, accepting Stetson's resignation and expelling a number of officials who had sided with her. As one historian wrote: "Such had been the turmoil caused by the case, and so shocking had been the evidence against Mrs. Stetson, that all but a few of her closest associates accepted the banishment with more relief than protest." In a reversal from the previous antagonism with Second Church, The new First Church leadership announced that the Thanksgiving service that year would be combined with Second Church's.

testing her. She came to believe her mission was to create a more "spiritual" version of Christian Science, which she called the "Church Triumphant." When Eddy died in 1910, Stetson declared that she believed Eddy would rise from the grave like Jesus and appear to her personally before appearing to the rest of the world, a claim Stetson would repeat for the rest of her life. It became a national news story and Christian Scientists, including the Christian Science Board of Directors itself, repeatedly denounced these proclamations as
125:. Eddy's church was based on the healings of Christ Jesus, and drew both faithful adherents and hostile critics. After Eddy's class, Stetson went to Maine and soon began reporting impressive healings herself. In 1885, she was called to Boston to preach at Eddy's own church as one of five preachers on alternating Sundays. Eddy was apparently disappointed with Stetson's preaching style however, such as her going on stage in immodest dress, and was particularly "mortified" by her at least once "imitating a Negro playing on a banjo." 141:, who had been sent there in October 1885 to help organize a church there, roughly a year before Stetson. Lathrop was, according to a journalist, "almost the antithesis of Mrs. Stetson in character and temperament" and that "Mrs. Lathrop attracts love, whereas Mrs. Stetson compels respect." Before Stetson arrived in New York, Lathrop had already established a Christian Science teaching institute, stirred up interest for the new religion in the city, and had even been praised for her healing work by Methodist bishop 198:. Stetson's church continued to grow, and in 1908, Stetson planned to buy the entire blockfront on Riverside Drive from 109th to 110th Street for a new branch church. The new branch church was again envisioned to rival the Mother Church, and was seen as a "formal challenge to the Boston establishment" since only the Mother Church was allowed to have branches. Stetson's plan was that her church would then become a new "Mother Church" for the New York churches. 169:; however, Stetson required prodding by Eddy herself to in order to stop preaching. Despite relinquishing the position however, she retained absolute power over the church. Stetson believed she was the unquestioned leader of the Christian Scientists in New York, and had a special relationship with Eddy above her other students; Eddy reprimanded her for this, at one point writing her: "Do not claim that you are my chosen one for you are not." 31: 178:

"Eddy," wrote one historian, "who seemed to genuinely care for Stetson and appreciate her hard work, spent 20 years cajoling and praising her headstrong student, while also occasionally rapping her knuckles."
