Kansas City (Mo.) Journal

We of the present moment, lacking the gifts of prophecy or even of perspective, must estimate the life, character, and achievements of this Founder of a new religious and philosophic school on a basis of personal observation. To be just we must take rightful account of the wonderful influence of the Christian Science faith in our modern life. From ocean to ocean in this country stand the fashioned monuments to this movement, and engraven on each temple of Christian Science worship is the name of Mary Baker Eddy. Thousands of intelligent and serious-minded men and women have accepted her as their spiritual Leader. Her theories have brought solace to many a discouraged soul, and peace reigns in thousands of families where before was doubt, unhappiness, and dread. This much we know.

Thoughtful men and women, unblinded by prejudice, must pay a tribute of respect and admiration for this earnest and forceful character who made such an imprint upon modern thought.
