Miss Eileen Ruth Gormley writes a historical sketch for Third Church of Christ, Scientist, Seattle, in 1933. Mrs. Harriett M. Armstrong writes the history of First Church, Ms. Adela S. Hawley for Fourth Church, and a committee of three for the newly formed Eleventh Church. Judge Clifford P. Smith expands the archival collections at The Mother Church in Boston. Rev. Dr. Lyman P. Powell uses the archives to write a biography on Rev. Mary Baker Eddy. Christian Science teachers Smith, Irving C Tomlinson, Julia M. Johnston, and E. Mary Ramsay also publish books on Christian Science history, as does photographer Richard Southall Grant. Christian Science church members collect loose issues of Christian Science Journals, Sentinels, and Monitor Weekly into bound volumes. The Christian Science Monitor's 25th anniversary is celebrated at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, as is the influence of Mary Baker Eddy as an author. Seattle Christian Scientists hold their own Monitor exhibition, and publish a full-page advertisement about Seattle's development in the "Progress Edition."
