The Christian Scientist was a regional organ of Mary Baker Eddy's movement published at New Orleans, and it carries the Boston teaching into the American South without dilution. Its doctrine is orthodox Christian Science: God as the only true substance, matter and its diseases as errors of what Eddy called mortal mind, and healing accomplished by spiritual understanding rather than by medicine. The paper cites Eddy constantly and cites her textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, more often still, which is what a Christian Science publication does, since the book is read beside the Bible in the movement's services. Its idiom is Eddy's own — demonstration for a healing achieved, divine Mind for God, and malicious animal magnetism for the malign mental influence she held to be a real danger. What distinguishes a regional paper from the Boston organs is visible here in small traces: the vocabulary of New Thought and Divine Science appears occasionally in these pages, because in the South those churches were competing for the same readers.
