During the early years of the Christian Science Sentinel, its founder, Mary Baker Eddy, insisted that its format be like other weekly publications of her time.

Many up-to-date covers of that day were architectural and symmetrical in design. In 1906, Mrs. Eddy suggested two facing statuelike draped figures to illustrate "a lady with a lamp"—an excerpt from a Longfellow poem. She also indicated that she thought the effect of that cover would be more artistic if the cross and crown design were omitted. And she said the cover should be colored.

But there is no evidence that Mrs. Eddy wanted this design, or the lady, to remain on the cover forever—or that she felt the cross and crown emblem should never be used again.
