The ''Manual of The Mother Church'' is the book that establishes the structure and governs the Christian Science Church, functioning like a constitution. It was written by Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the church. It was first published in 1895 was revised dozens of times. The final edition, the 89th, was published in 1910, two weeks after her death. == Background == Writing in September 1895 to Septimus J. Hanna, then an editor of Christian Science periodicals and First Reader of The Mother Church, Eddy described the work of establishing the various by-laws as having been "impelled" by circumstances which made the need for a rule apparent.〔Peel, Robert (1977), ''Mary Baker Eddy: The Years of Authority''. New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, pp. 90-91〕 The impetus was always the future protection of the church, to fortify its structural integrity by preventing battles for personal control and creeping bureaucracy, and to maintain its spiritual integrity by preventing frivolous experimentation and the intrusions of personal opinion that would eventually adulterate the teaching and doctrine of Christian Science.〔Gottschalk, Stephen (2006), 'Rolling Away The Stone''. Indiana University Press, pp. 242-243 and 394〕〔Peel, Robert (1977), p. 225〕 The final revision of the ''Manual'', the 89th edition, was published two weeks after Eddy's death in December 1910.〔("What is the background of the 'Present Order of Services' in the ''Manual of the Mother Church?''" ) Mary Baker Eddy Library (June 5, 2012).
