E'J.EMNG• AUGUST 11, 1907 ! a court action against Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the Christian Science Church. This action sought to wrench control of her person and property (including her copyright for Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures) away from her. The interviews, one by a prominent psychiatrist, Allan McLane Hamilton, and one by a well-respected journalist, Leigh Mitchell Hodges, offer us a unique window on Mrs. Eddy's actual mental and physical condition in 1907. Even though the court action was extremely unpleasant for Mrs. Eddy, it would, nonetheless, as she prophetically remarked to journalist Hodges, "cause the truth to stand out more clearly in the end." It is in this spirit that we provide these now largely inaccessible interviews. Genesis of the Next Friends Suit In the summer of 1906 the very newspaper that has the dubious distinction as the origin point in our language for the term "yellow journalism"- The New York World­ launched an aggressive campaign, under the direction of Joseph Pulitzer (founder of the "Pulitzer Prize"), against Mrs. Eddy. The "news" barrage attempted to present Mary Baker Eddy as senile, decrepit and dying of some deadly disease (probably cancer),l and as a puppet and prisoner of her own household staff who were allegedly squander­ ing her money. The sensational attack was published on the first page of The New York World on October 28, 1906. The purpose of such an attack and allegations against Mrs. Eddy and her staff were outlined in an editorial published Portion of first page, Concord [N .H.] Daily Patriot, in the New York American of November 3, 1906, titled August 21, 1907 "The World's Disgraceful Attack on Mrs. Eddy." The New York American summarized the nature of the lies as a buildings from 7 in 1890 to 1,104 in 1910.2 Yet the imme­ "three-fold" attack upon a woman, old age, and religious diate precipitating factor that brought extensive news cov­ belief. erage for this new denomination and its founder was the But what prompted the attack in 1906, which culmi­ dedication of the new extension to The Mother Church nated in the opening of the next friends suit in March 1907 edifice in Boston, scarcely a dozen years after the original spearheaded by ex-U.S. Senator from New Hampshire, edifice was completed.

  • 500 Watching Points for Advanced Students of Christian Science
    500 WATCHING POINTS for ADVANCING STUDENTS of CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Written in Providence, R.I. During the period, 1929-1942 by Gilbert Congden Carpenter, C.S.B. Introduction OUR TEXTBOOK, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, covers every human need, and sets forth the means whereby every problem may be solved. Each student, however, _ is left to make his own application of its teachings, especially in relation to that phase of error which would claim to prevent the student, either from understanding the true import of the teachings that are in the Bible, and in his textbook, or from making that broader application of his understanding, which alone brings final salvation. Students who lived in our Leader's home testify that no phase of human experience was so insignificant that it did not require them to apply to it the rules of God, and to seek His help. Many of the misunderstandings that occurred, arose from the fact that students had a limited conception of the application of truth, in contrast to their Leader's extended use of it. There were some who considered that Mrs. Eddy was over-punctilious about unimportant details but she was only demanding right thinking from her students in the smallest matters as well as in the greatest. She was never known to rebuke or criticize a student for making a demonstration of a humanly unimportant matter. Your teacher intends these watching points to constitute a timely hint to his students, to broaden their demonstration of Christian Science as Mrs.

  • The Eddy-Hopkins Paradigm: a ‘Metaphysical Look’ at Their Historic Relationship
    The Eddy-Hopkins Paradigm: A ‘Metaphysical Look’ at Their Historic Relationship John K. Simmons Western Illinois University In her noteworthy quest to establish Emma Curtis Hopkins as the founder of New Thought, Gail M. Harley revisits the varying perspectives on the falling out between Mary Baker Eddy and Emma Curtis Hopkins.1 Hopkins’ departure from the Christian Science establishment is, indeed, a critical event in the development of New Thought because this gifted and inspired mystic went on to teach a veritable Who’s Who of New Thought leaders, including Annie Rix Militz of Homes of Truth, Malinda Cramer of Divine Science, Charles Fillmore of Unity School of Christianity and Ernest Holmes of Religious Science.2 Historians plumping the depths of early New Thought history are not entirely sure what prompted the break-up between Eddy and Hopkins; reasons range from financial disagreements, to Hopkins’ eclectic attitude towards religious truth, to Eddy’s own paranoia regarding suspected enemies out to steal her metaphysical revelations and take credit for them. From an academic perspective, all of the above are plausible, and likely a multi-fragranced ill wind blew the two highly charged personalities apart. Historical scholarship, however, can be limited by its own self-imposed, Newtonian hermeneutical framework. Characters are identified in any historical drama, events are analyzed, then logical assumptions are made and conclusions drawn in explaining past events. Understandably, historians using this time-honor methodology would chronicle the rich but short and seemingly dysfunctional relationship between these two talented metaphysical teachers using an interpretive framework that focuses on unique personalities with disparate agendas.

  • The Role of Mary Baker Eddy in Christian Science Compared to the Role of Jesus Question​: What Kind of Es
    The role of Mary Baker Eddy in Christian Science compared to the role of Jesus Question: ​ What kind of esteem is Mary Baker Eddy held in by the Christian Science Church – especially in relation to Jesus himself? In Christian Science churches, the words of both Eddy and Jesus are prominent at the front of the sanctuary – seemingly with an insistence that they be given equal consideration and meditation. Coming from a Catholic background, it is of course well­bred into me that nothing is to be held in higher esteem than Jesus and his teachings. I wonder if you could shed some light on this for me. Response: ​ The question you’ve raised is one that Mary Baker Eddy herself frequently encountered – from critics and even from over­zealous admirers – and she was always absolutely adamant in her response. She would have thoroughly agreed with you that “nothing is to be held in higher esteem than Jesus and his teachings.” Although Mary Baker Eddy is honored by Christian Scientists as the Discoverer of Christian Science and Founder of the Church of Christ, Scientist, there is no sense in which she can legitimately be equated with Jesus or seen as superseding him. Rather, she saw herself as having discovered (not originated or invented) the divine law, or Science, which Jesus ​ ​ embodied and by which he healed the sick and sinful. She considered this Science to be the Comforter, the Holy Spirit that Jesus promised “will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you” (John 14:26).

  • Envisioning the Lethal Chamber
    C H a pte r 1 e nvisiOninG The Le ThaL chamBe r The history of the gas chamber is a story of the twentieth century. But an earlier event that would subsequently figure into its evolu­ tion occurred one day in 1846, when a French physiologist, Claude Bernard, was in his laboratory studying the properties of carbon mon­ oxide (CO), a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that would even­ tually be recognized as the product of the incomplete combustion of carbon­containing compounds. By that time the substance was already suspected of somehow being responsible for many accidental deaths, but nothing was known about the mechanism of its poisoning. Bernard therefore set out to explore its mysterious lethality by means of scien­ tific experiment. Bernard forced a dog to breathe carbon monoxide until it was dead, and immediately afterward opened the creature’s body to examine the result. The Frenchman observed the blood of the lifeless canine spilling onto the table. As he examined the state of the organs and the fluids, what instantly attracted his attention was that all of the blood appeared crimson. Bernard later repeated this experiment on rabbits, birds, and frogs, always finding the same general crimson coloration of the blood. A decade later Bernard conducted additional experiments with the gas in his laboratory – turned – killing chamber, carefully recording each of his actions as he proceeded. In one instance he passed a stream of hydrogen through the crimson venous blood taken from an animal poisoned by carbon monoxide, but he could not displace the oxygen 2 3 UC-Christianson-CS4-ToPress.indd 23 3/18/2010 2:03:22 PM 2 4 / T h e r i s e O f T h e L e T h a L c h a m B e r in the dead creature’s venous blood.
