Peggy M.
Brook.
In 1956 Peggy gave a series of talks on the nature of God. Each
talk focused on one of the seven terms which Mrs. Eddy has given us. These
talks were recorded and then Issued in a series of booklets. This work was the
outcome of a great desire to know more about God's nature and to share her
findings with others.
Peggy was a lifelong Christian Scientist and in
1937 became secretary to the Christian Science teacher, John Doorly. She
remained his assistant until his passing in 1950. She continued with her
healing practice and gave talks and summer schools on the Bible and other
subjects seen In the light of the Science of Christian Science until her
passing last fall.

John Doorly
John Doorly
was a Christian Science practitioner, lecturer, and teacher. He was President
of The First Church of Christ Scientist in Boston 1919-1920. He was highly
recognized for his healing work and his lectures drew huge audiences but in
1929 he resigned from the board of lectureship - In her book "John W. Doorly
and the scientific evolution of Christian Science" Peggy Brook wrote: "At the
time of his resignation he said that from his travels all over the world,
visiting many different centres where there were Christian Science churches and
societies, he sensed that the majority of Christian Scientists had only a
religious belief in Christian Science, and that most of the healing that was
being done was mere faith-healing. He realized then that unless the Science of
Christian Science was seen, understood, and identified Mary Baker Eddy's
discovery would continue to be accepted as just another religion among many,
instead of as the Science of all being that he instinctively felt it to
be."
Thus, he retired to England to study the textbook to
discover what Mrs. Eddy meant when she said: "Divine metaphysics is reduced to
a system, to a form comprehensible by and adapted to the thought of the age in
which we live. This system enables the learner to demonstrate the divine
Principle, upon which Jesus' healing was based, and the sacred rules for its
present application to the cure of disease." (Science and Health 146-147.)
From then until his passing in May of 1950 he devoted
himself to the study of the synonymous terms Mrs. Eddy gave for God. He saw
that they were the "key of David" and did open the Bible to be understood in
its Science. He gave talks on The Bible over a period of many years and the
excerpt we will use this week is from his talk on "The Book of John" given in
Oxford, England, Summer School in 1949.
