Excerpt from Christian Science History: A Statement of Facts Relating to the Authorship, of the Christian Science Textbook Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures The purpose of this booklet is to present to all fair-minded people a few facts in contradistinction to falsehoods as to the life and work of the Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy, the author of the Christian Science text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" and the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. Many years ago, John Gay, an English poet, penned these truthful lines: - He, who would free from malice pass his days, Must live obscure, and never merit praise. No great moral or religious reformer, in ancient or modern times, has escaped the truth of this poetic sentiment. Mrs. Eddy, as the greatest religious reformer of modern times, has, in some measure, shared the fate of her predecessors. As in other cases, so in her case, adverse criticism or opposition have come from two classes - those who entirely misapprehend the scope and purpose of the reformation, or those who, having sought a knowledge of Christian Science, as did some of old time, for the loaves and fishes, and having been disappointed in carrying out their selfish ends, have turned with the rage of envy and malice upon her who desired to be their benefactor, and (vainly) seek to injure her.
