A Unique History

ROBERT ELLIS KEY

Mary Baker Eddy's history is unique. As a pilgrimage from sense to Soul it points the way for all Christian Scientists. None are called upon to drink the cup she drank, but many may find encouragement and inspiration from a study of the experiences through which she passed, and thereby learn how to meet and overcome their own difficulties.

Students of Christian Science may even pass through similar experiences. For instance, they may encounter the clash of personalities, the menace of false systems, persecution, or its opposite, popularity. They may be despised because of their poverty, preyed upon for their riches, or laughed at for their faith.

These and similar trials were met and mastered by the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, who invariably rose to the occasion and came out stronger because of the ordeal. Mrs. Eddy's autobiography, entitled "Retrospection and Introspection," gives in her own words a brief account of her human history. In this volume the material record sinks into the background, and the foreground is filled with spiritual ideas, deductions, and admonitions which make it of great value to every student of Christian Science.
