We’re grateful that our new book, Life at 400 Beacon Street: Working in Mary Baker Eddy’s Household, by Heather Vogel Frederick, is being warmly received, and the Museum Store staff has been busy fulfilling orders. In March, we recorded an audio version of the book that will be available this summer. Other staff members have been traveling with Heather as she gives book talks around the country, and we expect these talks to continue into next year, so if we don’t make it to your area in 2019, we may be planning a visit in 2020! Please watch our website for details. Meanwhile, a number of our staff are involved in the planning and pre-construction work at 400 Beacon Street itself, as we prepare for another phase of restoration later this year. Work continues at the other Mary Baker Eddy Historic Houses as well, and on many other projects, including processing Calvin A. Frye’s plain black top hat, now in Longyear’s and photographing the final gift of 400 Beacon collection, is part of a recent gift from The Mother Church of Street furnishings received from The First Church artifacts from Mary Baker Eddy’s former home in Chestnut of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts.

  • Mary Baker Eddy Incoming Correspondence Index, Alphabetical
    Incoming Correspondence of Mary Baker Eddy (Formerly Chestnut Hill File) Collection Description Correspondence, c. 1880–1910 This collection consists mainly of letters received by Mary Baker Eddy and members of her household from c. 1880–1910. A small quantity of correspondence also predates and postdates this time span. Comments, notations, and responses by Eddy or her staff also appear on some documents. Correspondents include family, students, employees, Christian Scientists, the general public, and a few notable figures such as journalist Arthur Brisbane and suffragist Susan B. Anthony. There are approximately 6,700 correspondent files, many consisting of one letter (see finding aid for complete list). It is likely that her personal secretary, Calvin A. Frye, organized this file with assistance from other secretaries in later years. The name Chestnut Hill File derives from Mary Baker Eddy’s last home in Chestnut Hill, MA, where the file was located until it was moved to The First Church of Christ, Scientist sometime after 1915. Because of confusion about the scope and content of the file–it is not correspondence only from the time Eddy lived at Chestnut Hill, nor is it material about Chestnut Hill or the home located there–the file has been renamed to reflect what the file does contain, Eddy’s incoming correspondence. Size of collection: 38.3 linear feet Date opened: large portions on September 29, 2002 and December 23, 2002 Access: Some material is open. Remaining material will be processed upon request. See finding aid for a complete list of files and their status. 200 Massachusetts Avenue Boston, MA 02115 888-222-3711 www.marybakereddylibrary.org Provenance The Chestnut Hill File was transferred to the archives of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, sometime after the conveyance of Eddy’s personal property from the Trustees Under the Will of Mary Baker Eddy to the church.

During and since her lifetime, biographers and historians have presented portraits of the founder of Christian Science of an almost dizzying variety, from unadulterated adulation to devas- tating attack.' More recently, Mary Baker Eddy as woman has been the focus of scholarly analysis, with mixed conclusions as to her place in the women's movement of nineteenth-century America and her heritage for contemporary feminism.

LEWIS A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF METAPHYSICAL SCIENCE October 21, 2013 On behalf of the Department of Graduate Studies of the University of Metaphysics. this submission has been accepted by the Thesis Committee. _______________________________ Thesis Supervisor _______________________________ Dean _______________________________ Member TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction………………………………………………………..…………1 Review of Literature……………………………………………………….…5 Discussion.........................................................................................................19 Conclusion……………….…………………………………………………...24 Works Cited….……………………………………………………………….27 ii Introduction Once upon a time in a very chic New York City hotel, a distinguished and prosperous Partner of an Executive Search Firm hosted a holiday party for his staff. The fabulous, but not exactly functional, design of the lobby left the host without a seat to rest. Among the guests was one young maiden who leaned more towards practicality than formality. She marched (or glided depending on whom you ask) up to the concierge and asked for another chair. Surprisingly, the response was that the hotel’s famous interior designer (who - although not present physically - seemed to be presiding in spirit) would not approve of such a request. Undaunted, the young maiden replied, “However, unlike the prosperous Partner standing there, your famous designer is not paying for this celebration – please bring us a chair.” When the young maiden returned to her spot among the revelers, the assistant to the prosperous Partner leaned over and whispered in her ear, “I never knew you had moxie.” To which the young maiden responded, “What’s moxie?” I had never heard the word until that night.
