At a meeting of the "Christian Scientists' Association," April 19, 1879, on motion of Mrs. Eddy, it was unanimously Voted,— to organize a church designed to commemorate the word and works of our Master, which should reinstate primitive Christianity, and its lost element of healing.
She was appointed on the Committee to draft the Tenets of the church— whose chief corner-stone is the Divine Science taught and demonstrated by our Master, which casts out error, and heals the sick. "The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner."
The charter for the church was obtained June, 1879, and the same month the members, twenty-six in number, extended a call to Mary B. G. Eddy to become their pastor. She accepted the call, and was ordained A. D. 1881.
