Sibyl Marvin Huse (March 2, 1866 – April 5, 1939) was a French-born American author of religious books and teacher of Christian Science.
Huse holds a prominent place in the Christian Science movement and has a large clientele of devoted students who testify to her spiritual understanding and clear teaching of the beliefs as promulgated by Mary Baker Eddy.
On the maternal side, Huse is of the ninth generation from Reynold Marvin, who emigrated from Great Bentley, England in 1635 and settled near Hartford, Connecticut.
From her childhood, she took in the conversation of family members that the Anglo-Saxon race was constituted of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel.
This discussion was kept alive by the friendship between the Huse family and Totten, Professor of Military Science at Yale University and an authority on the Anglo-Israel question.
Shortly after this, she left home to go to Catonsville, Maryland near Baltimore, to teach in St. Timothy’s School, where she stayed for seven years.
[1] From 1903 to 1905, she served in Stetson’s church as chair of one of the committees appointed to receive visitors and enquirers, and she also taught in the Sunday school.
In 1905, seven years after she had received class instruction, Huse was elected Second Reader of the church, whose chief duty it was to read from the Bible at the Sunday service.
[1] Shortly after she began her duties as Reader, Stetson’s new home next to her church was completed, and Huse was invited to become a member of her teacher’s household, where she lived thereafter.
[1] The charge against them was that they remained loyal to Stetson after she had been discredited and expelled by the Mother Church for having taught and practiced "malicious animal magnetism" and other false doctrine.
In February 1910, in correction of certain published statements concerning her health, Huse gave out for publication a letter, in which she said:—[7] "I am a student of Christian Science and have found in Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson a teacher who has proved to me beyond question her understanding of its principle, life, love, truth.
I have been practising Christian Science for six years, and during that entire period have known the blessing of the unvaryingly perfect health I now enjoy.
In her office on West End Avenue, she daily practiced the art of metaphysical healing, and also held classes for instruction in Christian Science according to the outline given by Eddy.
