ABSTRACT
A hall was rented, meetings were held in the evening, the society was known as the "Christian Scientists" and as an organization Christian Science came into the world. Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy left Lynn finally in 1882 and during all the next period the history of Christian Science is the history of the Mother Church in Boston and of the Massachusetts Metaphysical College. There is much in this period of Mrs. Eddy's life to indicate that she had not yet reached an inner serenity of faith. She was never able to free herself from a perverted belief in animal magnetism or mesmerism which showed itself in fear rather than faith. The Journal of Christian Science became the official organ of Mrs. Eddy's movement as "Science and Health" was its gospel. Mrs. Eddy had at the time apparently no thought of continuing his work except in a most modest way.
