Mrs.
Eddy was not that one for she says so, in her Associated Press utterance of January 17th.4.And has "never claimed to be that one"-- unless the signature to the telegram is a claim.
Thus it stands proven and established that she is that Mary and isn't, and thought she was and knows she wasn't.

That much is clear.
She is also "The Mother," by the election of 1895, and did not want the title, and thinks it is not applicable to her, end will excommunicate any one that tries to take it away from her.

So that is clear.
I think that the only really troublesome confusion connected with these particular matters has arisen from the name Mary.

Much vexation, much misunderstanding, could have been avoided if Mrs.Eddy had used some of her other names in place of that one.

"Mother Mary" was certain to stir up discussion.
