In the "Addendum To Memorandum In Opposition To Defendants' Motion To Dismiss,"
par. 24 reads as follows:
24. The personal witness of a member of Mrs. Eddy's
private household states that::
"At another time, when making some by-laws
which were needed, she [Mrs. Eddy] said, 'This Church Manual is God's law, as
much so as the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount. It is God's law and
it will be acknowledged as law by law.' And she [Mrs. Eddy] smiled and looked
up from her writing and said, 'I mean the laws of our state, even if it has to
go to the higher courts.'" (Golden Memories, by Clara Shannon, p.15).
