1821 Baker Balcony Bonnet Eddy Elderly Followers Founder Pleasant Speaking Speech
EDITORS COMMENTS
Mary Baker Eddy, the founding mother of Christian Science, addresses her devoted followers from the balcony of Pleasant View, her summer retreat in Concord, New Hampshire, during the summer of 1903. The scene captures Eddy, then in her late seventies, dressed in a long coat and a high-necked bonnet, as she delivers a speech to an estimated crowd of ten thousand people. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the remarkable life of this influential spiritual leader, who founded the Church of Christ, Scientist, in 1879. Born on July 16, 1821, in Bow, New Hampshire, Eddy spent her early years as a wife and mother before experiencing a transformative spiritual awakening following a serious accident in 1866. This experience led her to write "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," the primary text of Christian Science, which was first published in 1875. Eddy's teachings emphasized the importance of spiritual healing and the power of prayer to overcome physical and emotional challenges. Her message resonated with many, and the Church of Christ, Scientist, grew rapidly. By the turn of the twentieth century, Christian Science had become a global movement, with thousands of followers around the world. The photograph of Eddy speaking from the balcony of Pleasant View in June 1903 is a testament to her enduring influence and the deep devotion of her followers. It is a poignant reminder of the power of faith and the enduring impact of a single person's beliefs on the world around them.
