I found food for thought in the following paragraph by Martha W Wilcox. It's from the book We Knew Mary Baker Eddy in the chapter 'A Worker in Mrs. Eddy's Chestnut Hill Home":
"The members of her household were not supposed to talk or discuss Christian Science at the table or among themselves. We were to live Christian Science, to be it, and not just talk the letter. This was one place in the world where the chatter about Christian Science was not heard" (p. 196).
