When the court sustained the right of the Plainfield Church in
New Jersey to use the generic term "Christian Science," the directors appealed
their claim to the New Jersey Supreme Court. When they lost their appeal they did
not take their issue any further.
The need of today is for a better understanding
of the Manual in the light of the estoppel clauses that Mrs. Eddy devised.
