In the year 1895 loyal Christian Scientists had given to the author of their text-book, the Founder of Christian Science, the individual, endearing term of Mother.

Therefore, if a student of Christian Science shall apply this title, either to herself or to others, except as the term for kinship according to the flesh, it shall be regarded by the Church as an indication of disrespect for their Pastor Emeritus, and unfitness to be a member of the Mother-Church." Mrs.Eddy is herself the Mother-Church--its powers and authorities are in her possession solely--and she can abolish that title whenever it may please her to do so.

She has only to command her people, wherever they may be in the earth, to use it no more, and it will never be uttered again.

She is aware of this.
It may be that she "refuses adulation" when she is not awake, but when she is awake she encourages it and propagates it in that museum called "Our Mother's Room," in her Church in Boston.

She could abolish that institution with a word, if she wanted to.
