Mary Baker Eddy: Teacher and Educator

Eighth in a series of twelve articles about Mary Baker Eddy commemorating the first century of Christian Science.

From the August 1966 issue of The Christian Science Journal


After her great discovery of Christian Science, Mrs. Eddy faced an unparalleled challenge: to find ways of sharing her revelation with others.

Mighty was this challenge. It demanded awakening people to the opposite of their deepest convictions—to the allness of Spirit and the nothingness of matter. It called for showing them a totally new way of thinking: how to reason from a purely spiritual basis; how to practice the rules for metaphysical healing; how to proceed with deep, systematic, scientific prayer and treatment. It required steps to guard and transmit the pure teachings through the defiling centuries.

Among these steps was the founding of the educational system of Christian Science. Through an understanding of this educational system, Mrs. Eddy's magnificent achievements as a teacher and educator can best be appreciated.
