Last month (April) we studied the book "Mary Baker Eddy - The Golden Days" by Jewel Spangler Smaus. It was a thoroughly enjoyable journey.
I like what Mrs Smaus records on page 162:
A visitor to one of their meetings at this period [1879] spoke of "the little circle of followers which meets for fellowship at her (Mrs. Eddy's) house fortnightly." He observed, "They take the name of Christian Scientists and find in the Christian Records the foundation of their faith." Later he commented, "I find her followers thoughtful and devout, without cant or egotism, students of life rather than of books, and a promising company."
I think our little book club is like that and that we are "students of life rather than of books, and a promising company."
Happy reading!
