4		1	Baker, Kenneth (Kenny) L	Show all	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. A BIG THANK YOU to christianscienceoncd.com for their professional conversion from the original historic recordings.

7		4	Beals, Ann (The Bookmark)	Show all	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.
8		5	Bissonnette, Sue	Show all	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.

16		2	Chanfrau, Henrietta E	Show all	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."

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.

25		1	Eddy, Mary Baker	Show all	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.
26		2	Einstein, Dr. Albert	Show all	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.
27		3	Eustace, Herbert W	Show all	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.

43		3	Jesus	Show all	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.

46		2	Keyston, David	Show all	David Keyston was raised in Christian Science, but really did not appreciate the fuller understanding of this discovery and its Discoverer, Founder and Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, until reading Paul Smillie’s (pre-publication) book Mary Baker Eddy: The Historical and Prophetic Perspective, in 1984.
47		3	Kilpatrick, William Duncan	Show all	Looking for a teacher to have Class Instruction in Christian Science, Reginald Kerry went to see Judge Fred- erick C. Hill in Los Angeles. Judge Hill was an outstanding Christian Science practitioner, teacher and lecturer. One day, the bus he was traveling on to go to a town where he was to lecture turned over and everyone was killed, ex- cept the Judge who woke up the next day in a hospital still saying, “There is one infinite Life, this Life is God, this Life is my life now.” He got up that morning and gave his lec- ture as scheduled. So, Reg went to Los Angeles to visit with the Judge, but as he put his hand on the doorknob, something said, “This is not your demonstration,” and he left.

55		1	Laird, Margaret L	Show all	Margaret Laird was one of the leading metaphysicians of our time. Like other forward-thinkers, Mrs. Laird was willing to follow wherever the premise "All Is Mind" might lead. Mrs. Laird was a practitioner and teacher of Christian Science in the Evanston/Chicago area for many years. Her teacher for her primary class as well as for her teacher's class in the Metaphysical College was Bicknell Young, a student of Edward Kimball. Her fidelity to the Science of Christian Science is unparalleled, and her refusal to compromise her presentation eventually put her out of the Christian Science organization. Her practice and teaching continued privately and then through The Margaret Laird Foundation.
56		2	LeBlond, Mildred L	Show all	In 1937 Mrs. Le Blond became a member of the Metaphysical College, also taught by Mr. Bicknell Young. Therefore, it will be clearly seen that our teacher had a most unique privilege in her teaching instruction in Christian Science, and thus in turn was able to give us this same unadulterated high quality. Ours, too, has been an unusual privilege, as the above facts indicate. Included are 22 PDF.

In 1939, not long after he left school, the Second World War was declared and he joined the British army, serving in the Far and Middle East. He was discharged in 1944 having sustained injuries resulting in a paralyzed right arm. Late the next year he attended a series of talks on the Book of Revelation given by a former teacher and Practitioner of Christian Science. During these talks his arm began to 'kick into life.' Several months later it was completely restored. This experience persuaded him to devote the next few years to serious study of the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. Eventually he found himself in the healing practice of Christian Science and he also loved to encourage others to study these books.

73		2	Reus, Yvonne	Show all	When I was in high school my mother experienced a wonderful healing as the result of prayer given by a Christian Science practitioner. It ushered our family into a new way of life. This healing experience along with many others is detailed in my book. Thereafter I attended regularly Christian Science services and in my adult years I taught in the Sunday School. Within the last few years I began an in-depth study of Christian Science leading me to question if the scientific world, particularly the physicists, had yet awakened to the ramifications of the universe as constructed by Mind itself, and the nothingness of matter. Reading some of the current books on the subject of physics, I found they most definitely had! They were even saying that a new religion was needed to accommodate their amazing findings. Now I knew that the religion for which they were searching was already established and well-proven. It even had a textbook to explain it, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” written by a New England woman, Mary Baker Eddy.

77		6	Rodwick, Ernest C	Show all	You, as a Christian Scientist or indeed as any thoughtful man or women, will find the accompanying Story of vital interest although there is nothing of pure Christian Science in it. Jesus used parables to illustrate special points in his teaching of pure Christianity and this Story should be taken as a parable which illustrates perfectly the fact that hypnotic suggestion cannot deceive a mind which has fortified itself with the truth about any fact or circumstance which presents itself negatively. In this account of Professor Herman von Scholtz?s research into hypnotism the point is brought out that he resisted every effort of the Hindu hypnotist to deceive him, as long as the suggestions came as abnormalities, as startling and unusual experiences, but was tempted to yield to the suggestions of normal hunger and thirst. To the Professor normal matter was real even though he had fortified himself against believing in any unusual manifestations which the Hindu adept might appear to conjure.
78		7	Ross, Peter V	Show all	Mr. Ross had a talent for explaining profound metaphysics in a manner that made them appealing to those who knew little or nothing about this Science. Mr. Ross’ experience in finding Christian Science and his desire to give lectures that reached his listeners was a desire that he realized when he became a lecturer. His lectures were so popular that when he lectured, the auditorium was filled and people were turned away.

He was in the last stages of diabetes and given six weeks to live by several doctors about 1896, and so took a trip to meet with a business associate to prepare to die. This man told him there was a church down the street where people were healed.
88		9	Sinton, John L	Show all	JOHN L. SINTON first became interested in Christian Science when his invalid mother had a remarkable healing. In 1926 he was a founding member of Fifth Church of Christ, Scientist, in Manchester, England, and in 1928 he attended John Doorly's Primary Class. In 1932, in the middle of the Great Depression, he gave up a promising career with the Ford Motor Company to become a full-time practitioner. After taking Normal Class from Bicknell Young in 1937, he taught primary classes in Manchester for nine years. A campaign of secret accusation and innuendo over alleged "incorrect" teaching finally led to his resigning from the Mother Church in 1946.
89		10	Smillie, Paul R	Show all	Paul R Smillie was active in a local branch church, teaching in the Sunday School, and had a very successful practice with many patients over the years. In addition to his years as a practitioner, he taught Bible classes every Sunday evening for many years and also spoke regularly to a group of Jewish ladies about the Scriptures.

92		13	Spalding, Baird	Show all	Wherever there is a flare of general interest in any personality or his achievement, such as has been evinced by the readers of THE LIFE AND TEACHING OF THE MASTERS OF THE FAR EAST, you may be certain there is a flame of spiri­tual Truth accompanying it. Few in modern times have created such an interest as Baird T. Spalding, whose name became legend in metaphysical and Truth circles during the first half of the twentieth century. Few sensed the flame of spiritual inspiration sweeping the world as did Mr. Spalding. The nature of the man, the manner in which his message has been presented, and the Mes­sage all bear living testimony to the Truth of his words and the honor and sincerity of the man.
93		14	Spangler, Helen	Show all	It is becoming well known that our thinking determines our experience. But when we are in need of help and healing, how do we change how we think? This change comes when our understanding of Christian Science spiritualizes the inmost thoughts. Through study and prayer we learn that we are each independently dependent on God for all things. He brings into our experience all the good that belongs to us. This spiritual enlightenment unfolds first in the heart of consciousness, and then objectifies itself in better health, greater supply, and happier relationships.
94		15	Spencer, Ralph	Show all	The author and compiler of this book, a retired civil and sales engineer and not a member of any church, was exceedingly skeptical when he first investigated the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, and was quite sure that many of her statements were ridiculous nonsense. Later, one of those “ridiculous” statements came into focus with a clear, self-evident meaning, a meaning higher than the surface meaning, and he was amazed at the simple yet profound spiritual idea and its far reaching implications. He knew that he had found a touch of the spirit of God, and that it was this spirit which had inspired Mrs. Eddy’s writings and also the books of the Bible. Many statements by Mrs. Eddy, however, continued to be impossible to believe, yet, subsequently the spiritual meaning usually would unfold and be understood. Thus, our ordinary human mind does not grasp the things of God. But our latent spiritual sense does.
95		16	Stamp, Clifford & Daisy Maas, Rosalie	Show all	All the publications represent deep research and a highly advanced level of spiritual reception to Truth which is shared in clear language and in a most humble manner to every serious seeker.

The truth that awakened him was from page 228: 3-6, “ . . . that nothing inharmonious can enter being, for Life is God.” His healing was complete.
97		18	Strain, Richard H	Show all	Richard H. Strain has served as a Christian Science Practitioner, First Reader in New York City, a frequent author of articles published in the Christian Science periodicals and as a guest speaker at Associations.

This series on God and Christian Science healing are filled with a total of 123 short articles describing the revelations as they unfolded to the author. He uses parables and related healings to share the higher vision of the allness of God. One of the healings describes a young man that was pronounced dead on the operating table and was healed by the author. The contents of these volumes “are the out-croppings of parables, stories, and interpretations written or related by the author in his daily efforts for over a third of a century, to bring joy to the sorrowful, surcease to the suffering, healing to the sick, food to the hungry, and life to the dead; in other words to bring to seekers after Truth the vision of the Christ,–the light of Mind, whereby they too might behold the Kingdom of God, even as he himself beholds it.”         From Let God do it, p. vii.
106		7	Witzsche, Rolf	Show all	Christian Science became a part of my life in the postwar 1940s, in Leipzig Germany, when the banning of Christian Science had been lifted all across Germany. It began with the healing of my mother, of a leg wound that neither the medical system, such as it was at the time, nor alternate healing methods could heal, but Christian Science did heal. In the background to the healing process, us kids were enrolled in Sunday School. An amazing world unfolded there.
