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). Series II, Serial Publications, consists of magazines and journals published at regular intervals (weekly, monthly, quarterly) but not full runs of the publications such as those published by The Christian Science Publishing Society including The Christian Science Journal, Christian Science Sentinel, and Christian Science Series. Some of the titles are bound in a volume and include titles by Mary Baker Eddy including "Feed My Sheep" and "Christ My Refuge" bound in PE00129. Some of the titles are newsmagazines including The Granite Monthly, The Literary Digest, and McClure’s Magazine. Series II also includes catalogues from academic, religious, and art institutions. Serial Publications do not include the newspapers or newspaper clippings from Eddy’s files. However, clippings were made from these issues.

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.

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.

  • The First Church of Christ Scientist and Miscellany
    The First Church of Christ Scientist and Miscellany by Mary Baker Eddy Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science and Author of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures Published by the Trustees under the Will of Mary Baker G. Eddy Boston, U.S.A. Copyright, 1913 By the Trustees under the Will of Mary Baker G. Eddy __________ All rights reserved, including that of translation into foreign languages, including the Scandinavian Printed in the United States of America Foreword 1 Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet; Lest we forget — lest we forget ! 3 — Kipling's Recessional IN these stirring times of church building, when the attention of the whole world is fixed on Christian Sci- 6 ence, when the growth and prosperity of the Cause are matters of general wonderment and frequent comment, when the right hand of fellowship is being extended to 9 this people by other Christian denominations, when pop- ularity threatens to supersede persecution, it is well for earnest and loyal Christian Scientists to fortify them- 12 selves against the mesmerism of personal pride and self- adulation by recalling the following historical facts: — 1. That Mary Baker Eddy discovered Christian Sci- 15 ence in 1866, and established the Cause on a sound basis by healing the sick and reforming the sinner quickly and completely, and doing this work "without money and 18 without price." 2. That in 1875, after nine years of arduous prelimi- nary labor, she wrote and published the Christian Sci- 21 ence textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures;" that over four hundred thousand copies of this book have been sold — an unparalleled record for 24 a work of this description; that it has healed multi- tudes of disease and has revealed God to well-nigh Page vi 1 countless numbers — facts which prove, (1) that Science and Health does not need to be interpreted to those who 3 are earnestly seeking Truth; (2) that it is not possible to state truth absolutely in a simpler or more pleasing form.

Thus it seemed a happy fortuity when substantial notes taken of that an aly tical exploration of applied metaphysics were made available to me afterward . Their publication in 1956 n o t only provided review materials for those who came from various parts of the field for the n e eve t, but it enabled the absent stud nts to share, in . at least some measure, in the undertaking Now, with this greatly enlarged edition of the orig inal pamphlet it is possible to include additional material found useful by the many who attended the San Francisco class later on . The present paper does not purport to be a com n o r prehensive restatement of either course, can it be regarded as a rounded presentation o f even the bare essentials . Nevertheless, however fragmentary it may be it does cover some of the cardinal points made, points which the students generally felt should be made a part of the permanent record for s u continuing t dy . It is a commonplace that class notes are seldom r r ve y accu ate . That does not mean they are worth less .

  • A History of the New Thought Movement
    RY OF THE r-lT MOVEMEN1 DRESSER I Presented to the LIBRARY of the UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO by Victoria College A HISTORY OF THE NEW THOUGHT MOVEMENT BY HORATIO W. DRESSER AUTHOR OF "THE POWER OF SILENCE," * 'HANDBOOK OF THE NEW THOUGHT," "THE SPIRIT OF THE NEW THOUGHT," ETC. NEW YORK THOMAS Y. CROWELL COMPANY PUBLISHERS JUL COPYRIGHT, 1919. BY THOMAS Y. CROWELL COMPANY PREFACE FOR several years there has been a demand for a history of the liberal wing of the mental-healing movement known as the "New Thought." This demand is partly due to the fact that the move- ment is now well organized, with international headquarters in Washington, D. C., hence there is a desire to bring its leading principles together and see in their in to inter- them unity ; and part est in the pioneers out of whose practice the present methods and teachings have grown. The latter interest is particularly promising since the pioneers still have a message for us. Then, too, we are more interested in these days in trac- ing the connection between the ideas which con- cern us most and the new age out of which they have sprung. We realize more and more clearly that this is indeed a new age. Hence we are in- creasingly eager to interpret the tendencies of thought which express the age at its best. In order to meet this desire for a history of the New Thought, Mr. James A. Edgerton, president of the International New Thought Alliance, decided in 1916 to undertake the work.

  • 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.

  • Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures MILESTONES
    THE MARY BAKER EDDY LIBRARY Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures MILESTONES 1875: FIRST EDITION Publisher: Christian Scientist Publishing Company, Boston Printer: W. F. Brown & Co., Printers, Bromfield Street, Boston Page count: 456 Contents: Preface; “Natural Science”; “Imposition and Demonstration”; “Spirit and Matter”; “Creation”; “Prayer and Atonement”; “Marriage”; “Physiology”; “Healing the Sick.” General Information: This was published before Mary Baker Eddy’s last marriage, and the author’s name was given as Mary Baker Glover. The chapter entitled “Imposition and Demonstration” comprised largely what is now “Christian Science versus Spiritualism” although parts of the chapter were later included in “Atonement and Eucharist.” In this edition and the next edition the word “Substance” was used as a synonym for God. Pages 230-282 in the chapter “Creation” became “Genesis,” a part of “Key to the Scriptures,” in the 16th edition. The Lord’s Prayer and the author’s spiritual interpretation first appeared; the author edited the spiritual interpretation in at least fifteen editions. Final end sheets included an “Errata” list. In the first edition, Eddy stated her preference that God be rendered in the feminine gender (“Creation,” 238, first edition). This edition and the next two editions bear the title Science and Health; the “Key to the Scriptures” comes later. The author relates in her book Retrospection and Introspection (37-38), a publishing delay of some months. As she completed the pages on animal magnetism (368-383, first edition), the printer resumed his work. 1 200 Massachusetts Avenue, Boston, MA 02115 ∙ (617) 450-7218 [email protected] ∙ www.mbelibrary.org 1878: SECOND EDITION Year Published: 1878 Publisher: Dr.
