Mary Baker Eddy
B. 7.16.1821 Bow, New Hampshire / D. 12.3.1910 Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts
Passed from our sight

How did Christian Science survive Mark Twain�s book on the subject? Satirical textual analysis never stopped anyone from wishing they could cheat death�and Mrs. Eddy's genius for publicity outlived everyone she plagiarized.
You grew up near the scene of her Fall in Lynn? Close enough to smell the ice.
Is Christian Science a way of living longer than expected? Not if you�re Jean Harlow.
On at least one occasion, your mother gave aspirin to the little Christian Science girls, your sister�s friends, who lived around the block�what was the source of her resistance to their family�s beliefs? Jean Harlow�s pain, and oral tradition: During the first and only Christian Science meeting she ever attended, my mother�s curious aunt Eloise saw a woman drop dead.
Loss of faith swifter than prayer? To Eloise it looked like a heart attack.
