Sulnby who waS the SON of a black
ninth, was described at the time OF
is meeting with Mrs. Eddy as a
;crewd little man, of argumentative
disposition and logged determination.
y became inbued with metaphysical
IDEAS and began a career In that direc.
Ion which made her one Of the most
amous of the worlds mental healers.
After spending two years in Port
and, Mrs. Patterson rejoined her hus-
IAN in Lynn, where she lived five
years, continuing her study of meta
'hysics. While there she suffered a
all on the ice which the doctor said
a severe, but from which she re-
covered, she said, in one night. 1t was
this incident that led directly to the
PRONUNCIATION of her discovery of
Christian Science.
il little house on Broad street. in
Lynn, where she lived at this time, is
a mecca of Christian Scientists from
all owe the world today. 1t was in
1873, nine years after the discovery,
that the first edition of Science and
Health" was published. The closing
chapters of the manuscript were writ
ten in an upper room of the Broad
street house.
In 1877, four years after her separa-
ton from Mr.. Patterson, the founder
of h new belief was married to Asa
Gilbert Eddy. In the interval. she had
been admitted into the Congregational
denomination and baptised.
Mrs. Eddy established the Massa-
chusetts metaphysical college In Bos-
ton, in 1881. Her teachings were TAX
en- up n accepted at first by a few
followers and as years went by a larg-
er and larger number until the denom-
ination today extends to many lands
and numbers millions OF adherents.
Mrs. Eddy began preaching in 1878
and organized the first church Of
Christ. Scientist, in Boston in 1879.
subsequently, a large edifice was erect
ed in this city, of which she was made
pastor emeritus. Her writings at this
time became very voluminous and she
contributed largely to the Christian
Science Journal. the Christian Science
Sentinel and Der Herold der Christian
Science.
Mrs. Eddy took up her residence in
Concord in 1889 and it was at her
home in Pleasant View that she
watched the great growth of her de-.
nomination and received many en-.
thusiastic followers. Finally the num-
Der OF visitors became so large that
she vas forced to ask them to cease
their calls. Nevertheless large delega-
tons continued to &c up the Merri-
mac river. and in June, 1903. ten
thousand Christian Scientists visited
Concord and heard a few words from
their leader.
Mrs. Eddy look up her residence at
Chestnut hill. Newton. in a large stone
house, in 1908. and there her last days
were spent. For the past three years
she lived a quiet. peaceful life. much
Of it a seeming monotony. which her
friends said was consumed mostly in
constant study. From a window at
Chestnut Hill could be seen the white
dome of the Christian Science temple.
