holding hands

Robert Peel recounts a lovely story about Mrs. Eddy -- then Mrs. Glover -- when she was living at 8 Broad Street in Lynn, Massachusetts.

A Mr. Orville Clough noticed her coming out of the house holding the hand of a small child and remarked on the "beautiful sign" on her home. It was the Cross and Crown emblem that she had adopted as a symbol of Christian Science and can be found on the cover of her work Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures

Mrs. Glover remarked that: "We all have the Cross but each one must become as this little child before he can have the Crown." (See Mary Baker Eddy: the Years of Trial by Robert Peel, 2nd edition, footnote 43, p. 20.)
