Editorial November 7, 1903 Issue

The Ladies' Home Journal

Oscar L. Stevens with contributions from T. E. Marr

The following extracts from an illustrated article entitled "Mrs. Eddy as She Really Is," occupying over two pages of the November issue of The Ladies' Home Journal, are indicative of its appreciative and friendly tone:—

"Dwelling in the quiet seclusion of an estate on the outskirts of Concord, New Hampshire, is a woman whose name is known to thousands all over the civilized world, yet who devotes herself so constantly to the cause in which she is interested that even of the thousands who sympathize with her and revere her as a leader, only a comparatively limited number, besides those of her own household, ever see and know her in her home. This widespread fame came to the Reverend Mary Baker G. Eddy through the writing of her book, which has come to be the text-book for the Christian Scientists.

"In her devotion to the one chief concern in her life Mrs. Eddy denies herself to an extent that few reformers have ever equaled, and she puts into her labors a living enthusiasm. She is, however, by no means a woman of one idea. Her interests are varied and she is in close touch with the current progress of events. Her chief interests do not take her from active participation in the affairs of her home city and the personal oversight of her estate and household. She is a generous contributor to local enterprises and home philanthropies."
