A potent force for good
Originally published in the December 6, 1938 issue of The Christian Science Monitor
The nineteenth century was especially productive of new religious groups in America. Outstanding among these in its command of public attention and rapid growth was Christian Science. While this term had been used before, it was not until the discovery by Mary Baker Eddy and the fact established that Christianity is truly scientific, that it was used in its present significance.
The discovery of Christian Science came about in a manner little short of the dramatic. In the year 1866 a gentle woman, religiously inclined, was seriously injured in Lynn, Massachusetts, by a fall on the street, so seriously, in fact, that her life was quite despaired of by her friends.
