Private Carriage, Public Journey
(February 2008 – February 2009)
Eight hooves, four wheels, and a coachman on the box meant more to Mary Baker Eddy than just a means of transportation. For her, daily carriage rides represented recreation, rare moments of solitude, and opportunities for prayer. For the public, the carriage became a symbol of her celebrity.
“A Holy Book and a Family Treasure”
(November 2008 - March 2009)
Printed in 1795 in Edinburgh, Scotland, the Baker Bible was used daily in the family home of Mary Baker Eddy. Mary Baker Eddy’s annotated Book of Psalms is a testament to her continuous and lifelong study and interpretation of Scripture. Mary Baker Eddy called the Bible her “only textbook” and looked to Scripture as a source of inspiration, enlightenment, and comfort.
