The Washington News Letter was Oliver C. Sabin's monthly organ of what he called Evangelical Christian Science, published from Washington, D.C., around the turn of the twentieth century. It is a clear instance of a pattern that recurs through the mental-healing movements: the doctrine kept, the authority rejected. Sabin retained Mary Baker Eddy's core metaphysics almost intact — that God is All-in-All, that matter and its diseases belong to mortal mind, that healing follows from correct understanding, and even her warnings about malicious animal magnetism — while operating entirely outside the Mother Church and denying its right to govern the teaching. Freed of that discipline, the paper also entered the broader metaphysical marketplace that orthodox Christian Science refused, carrying New Thought vocabulary, prosperity teaching and affirmations alongside its healing testimony. It is a useful document of how Christian Science propagated by splitting, and of how thin the wall between Eddy's church and New Thought could be once the question of authority was set aside.
