Language: Materials are in English. Finding Aid updated on 2018/06/05. Historical Note In 1917 the Christian Science Board of Directors posted notices in the Christian Science Sentinel and The Christian Science Journal, asking for original letters and authentic statements by Mary Baker Eddy. The Directors also requested reminiscences from any “Christian Scientists or others who knew Mrs. Eddy personally or through correspondence at any period of her human experience.” [The Christian Science Board of Directors, “Notice,” Christian Science Sentinel 20, no. 5 (1917): 90.] In addition to published notices, The Mother Church also contacted some individuals directly, inviting them to submit their memories. Later on requests went out for “the names and addresses of persons who were acquainted with Mary Baker Eddy at any time, and whose recollections have not been sent to the Directors.” [The Christian Science Board of Directors, “From the Directors,” Sentinel 34, no. 40 (1932): 791.] By 1933 the scope of the collection had broadened to include reminiscences about the greater Christian Science movement, and not just Eddy’s life. Between 1937 and 1942, acquaintances of Eddy delivered addresses in connection with the Annual Meeting of The Mother Church, which were transcribed and published in the Sentinel. [We Knew Mary Baker Eddy, The Christian Science Publishing Society, 1943.] Some were also published in the 1942 pamphlet Excerpts from Letters and Reminiscences. When The Christian Science Publishing Society issued We Knew Mary Baker Eddy the following year, it included seven addresses that had first been published in the Sentinel. Eventually the book consisted of four volumes; these were consolidated into one volume in 1979, compiled and edited from materials in the Reminiscence File. An expanded edition came out in 2011. Several authors, including Lyman P. Powell, Clifford P. Smith, and Robert Peel, drew from accounts in the Reminiscence File for their biographies of Eddy. Additionally, some authors published their own reminiscences. See the Library Reference Collection for published autobiographies, memoirs, and reminiscences, including these: ● We Knew Mary Baker Eddy ● Mrs. Eddy as I knew her in 1870 by Samuel Putnam Bancroft ● Memoirs of Mary Baker Eddy by Adam Dickey ● Recollections of Mary Baker Eddy... by James F. Gilman ● The Destiny of the Mother Church by Bliss Knapp ● An Account of Pioneer Experiences in Christian Science by Ella Peck Sweet ● Twelve years with Mary Baker Eddy: Recollections and Experiences by Irving C. Tomlinson Finding Aid updated on 2018/06/05. Scope and Content Note The Reminiscence File consists of over 2,000 reminiscences, mostly first- and second-hand accounts. Reminiscences about Eddy span her entire life, including her childhood in New Hampshire, her years living at Pleasant View in Concord, New Hampshire (1892-1908), and her time at Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts (1908-1910). The most notable reminiscences came from those who worked closely with Eddy—her secretaries (notably William R. Rathvon and Irving C. Tomlinson), household staff (such as Minnie Weygandt, Eddy’s cook), and her students (such as Samuel Putnam Bancroft). Although the Directors originally sought the reminiscences of those who knew Eddy “personally or through correspondence,” the collection grew to include accounts from many others, including: ● Family members and friends of those who knew her personally ● People who saw her in passing ● Visitors to her homes ● People who saw her speak or preach publicly ● Workers at The First Church of Christ, Scientist, including those involved with The Christian Science Monitor and other activities of The Christian Science Publishing Society ● Other individuals active in the Christian Science movement These accounts, which may have been recorded decades later, take the form of letters, manuscript drafts, notebooks, and other bound volumes. This collection also includes the notes of Eddy’s students, taken after they had class instruction with her, as well as with other teachers. (Note: Joshua Bailey’s notes from Eddy’s Primary class of February 25 to March 5, 1889 [A12065], as well as his notes from her Normal class of May 21, 1889 [A10273], reside in the Mary Baker Eddy Articles and Manuscripts Collection. These notes are considered a transcription of Eddy’s teachings rather than the recollections of Bailey, since he created them at her request). This collection includes Series I, Authentic Reminiscences, and Series II, Inauthentic Reminiscences. The collection is organized alphabetically by the author or subject of the reminiscence. Finding Aid updated on 2018/06/05. Series I, Authentic Reminiscences Series Scope and Content Note Series I, Authentic Reminiscences includes documents in which the creator of the document is known as well as the chain of custody of the document. The term authentic does not refer to the historical accuracy of the reminiscence. Some accounts may not be reliable. Series I consists of the bulk of the collection.

S. McKenzie’s reminiscence. (pg. 254) The role of Reading Rooms While every Christian Scientist has the privilege of distributing these sacred writings, the opportunity of doing so in the appointed order belongs especially to our Reading Rooms and our Distribution Committees. Mrs. Eddy once spoke of “home” as “your calm, sacred retreat.” We may think of our Reading Rooms, too, as a spiritual home and sacred retreat for church members as well as for inquirers. In them is spread a banquet of sustaining food for the seeker after healing of mind and body. The doubting, the distressed, the bewildered, the weary, may find in the shelter of the Reading Room the quiet and peace in which to ponder and pray, and to gain direction from the intimate Love which is ever seeking to find that which is lost, to heal that which is broken, and to comfort “as one whom his mother comforteth” (Isaiah 66:13). Our Leader has provided in the Manual that no reading be done in a Reading Room except that of her writings, the Bible, and our authorized publications, and that secular matters not be discussed, that this atmosphere of calm and holy meditation may be always found there. May our church members realize more fully the purpose of the Reading Rooms and avail themselves more often of the tender care shown in providing them.

ISBN 13: 9780761845744 (soft cover) Reviewed by Sarah Littlefield, Ph.D., Professor, Department of English, Salve Regina University In this compelling overview of the work of Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910), foundress of the First Church of Christ, Scientist in 1879, theologian Deidre Michell examines why this church, once so vital to a majority of women members during the feminist wave of late 19th century America, should decline during the feminist wave of the 1960’s and become virtually unknown to women in Michell’s native Australia. Her research takes her to Boston and to the Christian Science headquarters, a fourteen- acre complex that includes the Mother Church and a 26-story administration building, home to the Christian Science Monitor.

  • 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.

Copyright Materials in the collection are subject to applicable copyright laws. Restrictions: Scope and Content Note Mary Baker Eddy Pamphlets and Serial Publications consists of over 600 items chiefly from Mary Baker Eddy's files from her last residence at Chestnut Hill. All of the items in the collection were published during Eddy’s lifetime except "The Children’s Star" dated October 1912 (PE00030) and "A Funeral Sermon: Occasioned by the death of Mr. George Baker," 1679 (PE00109). Many of the items were annotated, marked, and requested by Eddy to be saved (see PE00055.033, PE00185-PE00189, PE00058.127). The collection consists of two series: Series I, Pamphlets and Series II, Serial Publications. Series I, Pamphlets, consists mostly of the writings of Mary Baker Eddy as small leaflets or booklets. The series also consists of writings by persons significant to the history of Christian Science (Edward A. Kimball, Bliss Knapp, Septimus J. Hanna, etc.). Some of the pamphlets were never published such as "Why is it?" by Mary Baker Eddy (PE00262). Pamphlets also include "Christ My Refuge" sheet music (PE00032) and a Science and Health advertisement (PE00220).

These churches were led by the charismatic Augusta E. Stetson and the more self-effacing Laura Lathrop, who had lively healing practices, taught hundreds of students, and built impressive edifices on Central Park West. After describing the rise of the two competing churches and their leaders, this essay examines several hundred testimonies of healing and the occupations of 1,600 members. This is the first study to scrutinize the internal operations of Christian Science churches and their membership in any large city and as such gives us a hitherto unavailable window into the swift rise and growing pains of a new American religion. Introduction [1] Christian Science appeared on the American scene during the late nineteenth century. Its practice of physical healing by cadres of predominantly newly-empowered women captured 1 The writer is grateful to Judy Huenneke Alan Lester; Seth Kasten; Cathy Gluck; Thomas Bird; the Mary Baker Eddy Collection; the Huntington Library; the Milstein Division, New York Public Library; and the Burke Library, Union Theological Seminary.

Later, the CSBD requested “the names and addresses of persons who were acquainted with Mary Baker Eddy at any time, and whose recollections have not been sent to the Directors.” [“From the Directors,” Sentinel, June 4, 1932 and January 7, 1933.] By 1933, the scope broadened to include reminiscences of the greater Christian Science movement and not just the life of Eddy.

She set up two coordinating boards with Deeds of Trust to serve as a balance. They worked together while she was here to conFol them, but as soon as she left, they each wanted the power, especially the Board of Directors. They appealed and resorted to the advice of human lawyers and the cours @aul appealed to Caesar). Nothing has gone right since 1910 when she left; it has not been canied on according to Mrs Eddy's intentions. "Politics chiefly and financial pressure seem rampant. The only answer to all that enor is 0rat the Christ must prevail. "The 'Estoppel Clauses' in the Manual have not been heeded or obeyed. They are a protective measure to our cause. Some, selfishly, even tried to persuade Mrs Eddy to remove them from the Manual, but she would not because they were divinely inspired to prevent hierarchical conrol and domination; also to gradually dissolve an organizational sense of church and Being.

  • The Mary Baker Eddy Library
    THE MARY BAKER EDDY LIBRARY “A Single Field of Labor” (Manual of The Mother Church, Article XXVI, Section 7) 1884 August 8 Mary Baker Eddy teaches the first Normal class at the Massachusetts Metaphysical College. These ten students go out as the first authorized teachers of Christian Science. Eddy teaches eleven Normal classes at the College before leaving Boston in 1889. (Her final class, taught in Concord in November 1898, is also a Normal class.) Few rules are in place for Christian Science teachers. A number of them lead a nomad-like existence, moving from town to town, taking patients and teaching small classes. (See, for example, the correspondence of Alfred Farlow.) Eddy is certainly aware of this, and, as far as is known, does not object to these itinerant activities. In addition, it is not uncommon for a student to receive Primary class instruction two or three times. This is often the case when a teacher leaves an area; the student will take class again in order to have an association nearby (associations of teachers’ students convene monthly, even weekly, in those days). 1891 July In The Christian Science Journal, under “Questions and Answers,” a practitioner, identified only as “A,” asks: “Can some one, through the pages of the JOURNAL, tell me of an opening for a practitioner in Christian Science? I would like to engage more actively in Truth’s work than is possible to do here.... There is seemingly much error abroad, and I think it behooves those who know the Truth to be diligent in helping to spread it.” The reply is probably by Sarah J.
