Author Description

During the Litigation years, the Christian Science periodicals were the main source of revealing the Truth to the field. The Sentinels and Journals contained the authors' names, while the Christian Science Monitors Home Forum page never listed the author. Since the Publishing Society staff was reduced to a small number of employees, the articles were repeated in different periodicals. By comparing the articles from the Sentinels and Journals to the Home Forum articles, we were able to determine the authorship of some of the Monitor articles. The authors include: Frederick Dixon, Herbert Eustace, Joseph E. Johnston, Gustavus Paine, Gertrude D. LaMotte, Samuel Greenwood, Clarisse Hale and, of course, others not identified. During 1920, several outstanding writings were published. For example, on five successive Saturdays in April and May, the Johannine Writings were the subject of the Home Forum articles, suspected to be written by Frederick Dixon. These articles, which can be found at www.footstepsofhisflock.com, are entitled: "The Johannine Vocabulary," "The Significance of 'Seeing' in the Fourth Gospel," "Love in the Johannine Writings," "The Author of the Fourth Gospel," and "The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved." Also, efforts were made to reveal "The Law of Opposites," "Witchcraft a Nullity," "Hypnotism Ruled Out," and "Metaphysical Inversions." These are some of the first attempts to expose mortal mind. "The Law of Opposites" states "the positive and negative"-"what it is and what it is NOT" (Mary Baker Eddy, Miscellaneous Writings, p. 172). Following along this line, 1920 brought forth "Reaction or Reflection" and "Mere Motion versus Divine Energy," which is again, the positive and the negative.
