In some respects, at least, Mrs. Eddy seems, from the perspective of today, one of the world's great women. It is possible that she will some day be generally accepted as the world's greatest woman. She was the "Discoverer" of a religion and the Founder of a church. It is a religion that seems to make a universal appeal, in that it is accepted by men and women of all races, creeds, and conditions, and so it is a church that gives promise of enduring permanence. Philosophically it rests on the doctrine of pure idealism, morally on the gospel of love. A religion resting on such foundations, and satisfying, as it has from its inception, some of the purest souls and clearest minds of the present civilization, should travel far through the generations.

There can be general agreement as to the rare qualities of heart and mind and personality of Mrs. Eddy, the Founder of Christian Science. Like Tolstoi, she is one of the unique figures of universal history.
