Footnotes

Harriet Hale Rix and her sister Annie Rix Militz were educated through the spiritual movements of Emma Curtis Hopkins and Mary Baker Eddy, pioneers in New Thought Metaphysics. They were catalysts in the “Unity Movement” and what was to become the rich spiritual vein of “New Thought.” Both sisters wrote extensively for their publication 'Master Mind' and published several books. They lived in Alameda, California.
