No charters were granted to Christian Scien-
tists for such institutions after 1883, and
up to that
3 date, hers was the only College
of this character which
had been established in the United States, where
Christian Science was first introduced.
6 During
seven years over four thousand students
were taught by the author in this College. Meanwhile
she was pastor of the first established Church
of
9 Christ, Scientist; President of
the first Christian Sci-
entist Association, convening monthly; publisher
of
her own works; and (for a portion of this time)
sole
12 editor and publisher of the Christian
Science Journal,
the first periodical issued by Christian Scientists.
She
closed her College, October 29, 1889, in the
height of
15 its prosperity with a deep-lying
conviction that the
next two years of her life should be given to
the prep-
aration of the revision of SCIENCE AND HEALTH,
which
18 was published in 1891. She retained
her charter, and
as its President, reopened the College in 1899
as auxil-
iary to her church. Until June 10, 1907, she
had never
21 read this book throughout consecutively
in order to elu-
cidate her idealism.
In the spirit
of Christ's charity,--as one who "hopeth
24 all things, endureth all things,"
and is joyful to bear
consolation to the sorrowing and healing to
the sick,--
she commits these pages to honest seekers for
Truth.
