The Manual of The Mother Church is a brief work by Mary Baker Eddy, the Church's Founder, and it serves as the foundation for the government of The Mother Church and its branches. Its Rules and By-Laws provide a broad yet specific direction for the Church and its members
Mrs. Eddy writes, "Of this I am sure, that each Rule and By-law in this Manual will increase the spirituality of him who obeys it, invigorate his capacity to heal the sick, to comfort such as mourn, and to awaken the sinner" (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 230).
