Kenneth Laurence “Kenny” Baker was an American singer and actor who first  gained notice as the featured singer on radio’s The Jack Benny Program during the 1930s. He appeared in seventeen film musicals and also Broadway productions.

He became a Christian Science practitioner and motivational speaker, and recorded a number of albums especially for inspiration from Bible verses and Mary Baker Eddy’s “seven hymns” taken from “Poem’s” one of the 17 books written by her. One of these “seven hymns” are sung each Sunday in Christian Science churches throughout the world.

There seems to be no better way to convey the “deeper spiritual insight” of Mary Baker Eddy in her “Poems” and Bible verses than through Soul manifesting itself as world-renown vocalist, Kenny Baker.

CLARA BARTON, founder of the AMERICAN RED CROSS, said that she looked  upon MARY BAKER EDDY as the one person, regardless of sex, living today, who has done the greatest good for her fellow-creatures, and that Christian Science itself is the most remarkable as well as the most potent factor in religious life.  Clara Barton herself was considered to be a philanthropist, a humanitarian, a patriot, “a great American woman who devoted her life to the good of humanity”.

Ann Beals is a life-long Christian Scientist. Her family came into Christian  Science through a healing she had before she was a year old. Doctors could not diagnose the illness or cure it. She seemed about to pass on when her mother called in a Christian Science practitioner who prayed for her until she regained consciousness. Within a short time she was completely healed. Her parents then took up the study of Christian Science and the family attended First Church of Christ, Scientist in Louisville, Kentucky. During her early years she had several healings of extremely serious illnesses through reliance on Christian Science. In time her father, Harry Smith, became a Christian Science teacher and lecturer.

Dearest Friend and fellow Christian Scientist, With great joy, the following Summer  School recordings, entitled “The Christ-idea & the Science that Governs Change” (by Sue Bissonnette), are offered to you as a gift from The Foundation for the Science of Being’.

What is ‘’The Foundation for the Science of Being”?

This nonprofit educational ’Foundation’ is wholly devoted to the advancement of the scientific understanding of Mary Baker Eddy’s stupendous divine revelation in its spiritual, scientific constituency; and, to the unfoldment of the profound magnitude of her discovery of divine Love as the “sovereign panacea” (S&H 407) —the “universal solvent” (S&H 242) enveloping and blessing all mankind.

The Foundation for the Science of Being was established in 1999 by Sue Bissonnette (following the closing down of the Kappeler Institute’s decades long teaching program, and just prior to Dr. Kappeler’s passing) at the turn of the millennium.

The spiritual momentum within the subject did not cease nor abate at that time, and it needed a new vehicle—a form for its ongoing presentation and dissemination. Through the auspices of the ‘Foundation,’ from the late 90’s forward, Sue Bissonnette continued ongoing classes with a core body of  devoted students, continuing to further plumb the depths of this constantly unfolding and evolving understanding of Christian Science.

Peggy M. Brook attended the Christian Science Sunday School from the age  of five, and was first inspired by the Pure Science of Christian Science when, in 1937, she became secretary to John W. Doorly working for him in that capacity and later as his assistant for thirteen years. Peggy M. Brook was the Trustee for the Writings of John W. Doorly, Director of The Foundational Book Company, and joint Editor of the periodicals Metaphysical Notes (l947·1951) and Ideas of Today (1951- 1977). For nearly sixty years she devoted her life to the study and practice of Christian Science, as well as giving a large number of talks and Summer Schools on the Science of the Bible and publishing writings on this subject. Her talks and publications have always stressed the impersonality as well as the warmth of Science, blending the letter with the spirit.

Warren Brookes (see more bio pgs 10-12 of publication) "earned a degree  in economics from Harvard in 1952 and upon graduating with honors took a job in the marketing department of Kimberly-Clark. He went on to work for Cryovac (a subsidiary of W.R. Grace & Co.), Kenyon and Eckhardt (advertising, and the Christian Science Monitor (promotions director) before beginning his career in journalism in 1975. He began as a reporter for the Boston Herald and ten years later took a position on the editorial staff of The Detroit News, a post he held until his [passing]. He also wrote two columns per week for Creators Syndicate, a special weekly column for the Washington Times, and freelance articles for Forbes and other magazines."

Clara Armitage Brown wrote prolifically for the periodicals. Between 1933 and 1971,  she had 65 articles published in the Journal and Sentinel. She became a Christian Science Teacher during this time.  Her association addresses are very inspiring in that each one focuses on one subject and covers it in great detail. These addresses are refreshing sources for new and deeper insights into many subjects relating to demonstrating the Science of God.

Christian Science Teacher

Mr. W. Gordon Brown was a long time student of Christian Science.  He was a student of John Doorly, a pioneer into the research of the Science of the Bible and the Science of Christianity. He was part of a team led by Mr. Doorly in this research. Included are 16 PDF & 100 MP3. 

Marya Brunson has devoted herself to the study of the science of  Christian Science for most of her adult life, studying with such master teachers as Dr. Max Kappeler, W.  Gordon Brown, and John L. Morgan, as well as receiving Christian Science class instruction.

She has taught, lectured and given workshops on the science of Christian Science throughout the United States, sharing her understanding of its divine system, emphasizing the laws of the Model of Being. 

Gilbert C. Carpenter Sr. CSB came into Christian Science in 1894. Mr.  Carpenter served Mrs. Eddy in many special ways. He was an Executive Member of The Mother Church, and chairman of the building committee for the Extension. From March 1905 to March 1906, he served her as an Associate Secretary at Pleasant view.

It is nearly 10 years now since our beloved Leader, the Discoverer  and Founder of Christian Science, Rev. Mary Baker Eddy has passed from our sight. Since there are many Christian Scientists everywhere who did not have the privilege of knowing our Leader personally, it has been represented to me that it would be of use to them if the recollections of one who was her student were put down in writing. Therefore, I shall try to tell some of the experiences which I had with her, and some of the precious recollections of her which I shall cherish always in my heart. It is my dearest hope and wish that some day these may come into the hands of those students of Christian Science who will find in them help on their path "from sense to Soul."

The second of three daughters born to a Minneapolis realtor and his  English-born wife, Marchette Chute studied at the Minneapolis School of Art before earning her B.A. from the University of Minnesota in 1930. After her father's passing in 1939, Chute moved to a Manhattan apartment with her mother and younger sister, novelist Beatrice J. (B. J.) Chute. 
Chute's diligently researched reconstructions of the lives of Shakespeare and Chaucer have contributed a great deal to scholarship about the ages in which they wrote.

J.W.S. Cox was a formidable, innovative watercolorist who is known for having  invented the wet-on-wet watercolor technique (immersing paper in water and painting wet watercolor pigments onto the wet  paper, so that the pigments could spread and take on a "life" of their own.

In 1936, Cox studied in Paris at the Academie Colarossie and for one year with Fauvist Othon Friesz (1879-1949) in an atelier on rue de la Grande Chaumiere. He returned to Boston fluent in 14 languages.

Christian Science Practionioner

Adam H. Dickey was born in Toronto, Canada, in 1864. During the  latter part of the 1800’s the Dickey family moved to Missouri. Mr. Dickey became interested in Christian Science after he witnessed its healing effects. Both he and his wife, Lillian S. Dickey, entered the healing ministry in Kansas City, Missouri, and became listed as Christian Science practitioners in The Christian Science Journal in 1900. Two years later they went through Normal Class with Edward A. Kimball, and became teachers of Christian Science. Soon afterwards they opened the Intra-State Christian Science Institute, with offices in both New York City and Kansas City.

Emma Dunn appeared onstage in her early teens, graduating to the London  stage for several years and later became a noted Broadway actress. She wrote two books on elocution and speech: Thought Quality in the Voice (1933) and You Can Do It (1947). The broad scope of Mrs. Dunn’s talents, coupled with her love for Christian Science, gave her an extraordinary insight into reading the Bible aloud. Her family came originally from England, and she and her brother grew up a few blocks from Central Park in New York City. She be- came a truly great artist in the theater on Broadway and a great Christian Science healer. In her book, “You Can Do It!” Emma tells how the theater was in her case the primary school, and how all she learned through many years of acting converged toward this one point: reading the Bible aloud. Included is 1 PDF.

Panel discussion on Mary Baker Eddy Fulfills Prophecy by Fernand E. d’Humy.  This is the topic of this most important panel discussion The Stone The Builders Rejected: On December 1, 1910, Mrs. Eddy went for her last drive. When she returned she asked for her writing pad. On it she wrote what would be her last written message to the world, namely, “God is my life”. It includes 3 PDF.

MARY BAKER EDDY is the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, author  of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, a bestseller since the first edition in 1875. The book was deemed one of the 75 Books By Women Whose Words Have Changed The World. Verified detailed healings credited by the readers state the healings were the result of only reading Science and Health.  These healings are published in this book covering over 100 pages. Mary Baker Eddy is also the founder of the 6 Pulitzer Prize winning Christian Science Monitor and author of numerous other publications read by millions every year.

Einstein was genuinely humble and admitted when he saw Christian Science demonstrated  it was certainly scientific in principle and was effective when applied scientifically.

Thus, Einstein began to read Mrs. Eddy’s writings with “new wonder” and an open mind. His discussions were far apart from “human and scientific ties of the past” he had “bridged the gap” from physics to metaphysics in his own intellectual approach to Christian Science, often using scientific statements he had learned from reading and studying Mrs. Eddy’s writings. 

Mr. Eustace, an authorized teacher and practitioner of Christian Science for many  decades, was a student of Edward A. Kimball, C.S.B., the first Lecturer of Christian Science. Mrs. Eddy specifically selected Mr. Kimball for this important fledgling task. Both Mr. Kimball and Mrs. Eddy became aware of Mr. Eustace's natural proclivity for spiritual metaphysics and its successful application during his two class instructions, Primary Class and Normal Class, with Kimball, both of which were under Mrs. Eddy's direction.  He was the only student Kimball and Eddy ever found who wanted to take advanced class instruction, not so he could teach Christian Science, but specifically to better understand the machinations of animal magnetism, or malicious mental malpractice – an area of study of which Mrs. Eddy once remarked, “Where all students have failed is in not knowing how to handle animal magnetism.” (OV 383)  The One Volume is the complete record of Mr. Eustace’s class teaching in Christian Science plus his other articles on spiritual concepts successfully practised during his years in the public practice of Christian Science.

Dr. Fluno was a homeopathic doctor before he found Christian Science in  1884, at which time he abandoned his profession to become a Christian Science practitioner. After taking class with Mrs. Eddy in 1885, he and Mrs. Fluno located permanently in Oakland, California, where he was a practitioner, teacher, and pastor of the local Christian Science church. He was appointed by Mrs. Eddy to lecture on Christian Science throughout the United States. He served in this capacity from 1898 until 1919. Both the life and the papers of this extraordinary man are an inspiring example of Christian Science lived and demonstrated.

James Franklin Gilman was selected by Mary Baker Eddy to prepare the  valuable drawings for Christ & Christmas.

Mr. Gilman was a self-taught artist who travelled to make artwork of landscapes and farms in places like Vermont, Wilmington and Burlington. He was known for painting or sketching farms in exchange for room and board. 

FATHER HEALED OF PNEUMONIA:
In 1915, Joel's father became critically ill with pneumonia  while in England and word was sent to the Goldsmith family to come for the body. However, according to Joel, his father was healed by a Christian Science practitioner in London.  When his father unexpectedly recovered, Joel began to ask questions about the existence and nature of God and to began to educate himself about Christian Science. 

Doris Grekel is a life-long Christian Scientist. “For many years the author  has been seeking to know Mrs. Eddy and to learn her holy history. Though she feels she has little more than begun on this vast search, it has been rewarding beyond expectations. This research has convinced her that an understanding of the trials and triumphs of Mary Baker Eddy is essential for those who “would enter by the door”.

Because of his background in both the sciences and Christian Science, Mr.  Haw could see how the sciences are gradually developing rudimentary ideas found in Christian Science. He lived in Natal, South Africa. He was educated at the University of Natal, and through private study with the University of South Africa. He had a varied career as research chemist, topographical surveyor, farmer, conservation and agricultural officer, teacher, headmaster, and public relations and media executive. He was a deeply dedicated Christian Scientist.

JULIA WARD HOWE was born in New York City in 1819 and  passed on Portsmouth, Rhode Island in 1910. On her father's side she was descended from Roger Williams and two governors of Rhode Island. Her mother was the great grand niece of Revolutionary War legend Francis Marion (nicknamed "The Swamp Fox”). Julia's father, Samuel, was a successful Wall Street banker. Her mother, Julia, a published poet, died shortly after giving birth to her seventh child. The Ward children were left to the care of their father.  

May Rimes Hutson (known to her family and friends as Peggy) has  been a student of the Bible from her youth. The Bible characters were her friends. Her parents were deeply religious. Her mother taught her to look to the sacred Word of Scripture for guidance, instruction, and healing. At an early age she began memorizing verses from Scripture, and in times of trouble these passages would come to her, like angels, to strengthen and comfort her.

Daniel Jensen has a very down-to-earth approach to Christian Science, and a  sensible way of practicing it.  His talks always deal with the problems most of us face at one time or another. And he explains how to work them out, giving examples from his own experience.

Statements about Jesus from Science & Health with Key to the Scriptures  by Mary Baker Eddy

God’s man discerned
Through spiritual sense you can discern the heart of divinity, and thus begin to comprehend in Science the generic term man. Man is not absorbed in Deity, and  man cannot lose his individuality, for he reflects eternal Life; nor is he an isolated, solitary idea, for he represents infinite Mind, the sum of all substance. 

In divine Science, man is the true image of God. The divine nature was best expressed in Christ Jesus, who threw upon mortals the truer reflection of God and lifted their lives higher than their poor thought-models would allow, — thoughts which presented man as fallen, sick, sinning, and dying. The Christlike understanding of scientific being and divine healing includes a perfect Principle and idea, — perfect God and perfect man, — as the basis of thought and demonstration.    Chapter 9: Creation, pages 258:31 to 259:14.

MARGARET JEWSON, an advanced student who is a veteran of the "system"  and "Science" of Christian Science blesses us with deep research on important topics.
