It was "a Mind-healing Church." It was "without a creed." Its name, "The Church of Christ, Scientist." Mrs.Eddy could not copyright her Church, but she chartered it, which was the same thing and relieved the pain.

It had twenty-six charter members.

Mrs.Eddy was at once installed as its pastor.
The other venture, above referred to, was Mrs.Eddy's Massachusetts Metaphysical College, in which was taught "the pathology of spiritual power." She could not copyright it, but she got it chartered.

For faculty it had herself, her husband of the period (Dr.Eddy), and her adopted son, Dr.Foster-Eddy.

The college term was "barely three weeks," she says.
