Mary Baker Eddy Pamphlets and Serial Publications a Finding Aid
The Mary Baker Eddy Library Mary Baker Eddy Pamphlets and Serial Publications a finding aid mbelibrary.org [email protected] 200 Massachusetts Ave. Boston, MA 02115 617-450-7218 Collection Description Collection #: 11 MBE Collection Title: Mary Baker Eddy Pamphlets and Serial Publications Creator: Eddy, Mary Baker Inclusive Dates: 1856-1910, 1912 Extent: 15.25 __LF Provenance: Transferred from Mary Baker Eddy’s last home at Chestnut Hill (400 Beacon St.) on the following dates: August 26, 1932, June 1938, May 7, 1951, and April 1964. 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). -
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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -
Historical Facts Regarding Mary Baker Eddy's Student, Bliss Knapp
Historical Facts Regarding Mary Baker Eddy's Student, Bliss Knapp In April 1991, The Christian Science Board of Directors and the Trustees of The Christian Science Publishing Society made the decision to publish The Destiny of The Mother Church by Bliss Knapp. When The Destiny reached the Reading Rooms, it brought out into the open a division of teaching which erupted early this century. The division concerns the identity of Mary Baker Eddy, -- as either Mark Baker's daughter, the one who eventually became the Discoverer, Founder and Leader of Christian Science; or, the Woman who fulfilled Bible prophecy as found in Isaiah, Ezekiel, Micah and Revelation, -- the Messenger who brought the divine Comforter and established God's church. Mrs. Eddy's devoted students accepted her as the God-crowned woman of Scriptural prophecy. This is clearly shown in their writings in the early Christian Science periodicals. The members of the Knapp family were among this group. There is a golden chain of events showing, in our Leader's words, "...God's disposal of events" in regard to Mrs. Eddy's unique friendship with the Knapp Family, and Bliss Knapp in particular. In the following pages, a number of interesting vignettes are related concerning Mrs. Eddy's association with her student, Bliss Knapp. Like the vignettes in the We Knew Mary Baker Eddy series, these accounts are helpful in understanding Bliss Knapp, -- the man, his book, and our Leader. The compiler of this information is a student of Mr. Knapp. • Receptive and Willing Students God chose Mrs. Eddy to bring the final revelation of the divine Comforter, Christian Science. -

DOWNLOAD PAGE AND/OR PRINT FOR RESEARCH/REFERENCE Patrick H Gormley THE CULTIC CURES OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE ULTIMATELY DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD BY PROMOTING AN EVIL SYSTEM Christian Science is a Church headquartered in Boston is famous or infamous for not calling in the doctor. The Church insists that there is no evil for a good God would not allow it to exist and that it is an illusion. Arnold Lunn wrote, "The alleged miracles of Lourdes have a special claim to scientific consideration for two reasons. First, because the cures are examined by a specially constituted committee of doctors. Christian Scientists are notoriously unfriendly to medical scrutiny, but doctors, irrespective of religion or nationality, are invited to serve on the medical Bureau des Constatations which was established in 1882 to test the alleged miraculous cures at Lourdes. In peace-time a yearly average of about 500 doctors visit Lourdes and as many as sixty doctors have been present at the examination of an alleged miracle. The record office of the Bureau keeps the case-sheet of those whose cures it has studied, and the certificates brought by the patients from their own doctors are deposited with the reports of the examining doctors at Lourdes. The permanence of the cure is only conceded if the subsequent history of the cure has been recorded for a period of years. In the second place the evidence for supernormal cures at Lourdes is of quite a different character to the evidence for alleged "Faith cures", such as those claimed by the Christian Scientists. -

Oakes PRINTED IN SOUTH AFRICA BY THE RUSTICA PRESS, PTY., LTD., WYNBERG, CAPE. FOREWORD Readers of the pages which follow may find it interesting to look at the Church Manual of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, by Mary Baker Eddy – to pages (67-9) where she specifies the arrangements for the call of workers to her home. It is indicated that some of them would be taught ‘the course in Divinity’ and would be required to pay for their instruction in the event of their leaving her before the term of service was completed. Several of the students in her home took notes of what was referred to as the Divinity Course, and they and many others kept notes of other unrelated items of instruction given in the home, together with the text of specific work they were required to do, or of ‘watches’ they were required to keep. It is the aim of this compilation to preserve as much of this as possible.
