They Answered the Call: Early Workers for the Cause

They Answered the Call: Early Workers for the Cause

Christian Science Publishing Society, The. They Answered the Call: Early Workers for the Cause. Boston: The Christian Science Publishing Society, 1995.

This collection of brief 3-page articles about 14 men and women who served the Cause of Christian Science during Mary Baker Eddy’s last decades first appeared in a series from The Christian Science Journal between 1987 and 1991 (about eleven years before the archives of the Mary Baker Eddy Library were open to the public). The articles are based on original documents from the (then) Church History department of The Mother Church. “More than just imparting interesting historical information, the articles capture something of the vital spirit and conviction that so deeply moved individuals from around the world to give their all for a Cause they perceived to be greater than all others” (Introduction). The people whose stories are told include James J. Rome, Alfred Farlow, M. Adelaide Still, James A. Neal, Archibald McLellan, Lady Victoria Murray, Calvin A. Frye, William P. McKenzie, Laura Sargent, Septimus J. Hanna, Edward A. Kimball, Annie M. Knott, Caroline and Edward Bates, Joseph Armstrong. Some, such as Sargent and Frye, served Eddy directly in her home; and others served more remotely in their home communities, such as Lady Victoria Murray; still others worked in Boston, more directly involved in running the Church.
