Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy was a remarkable woman. While she was the Founder of what is known as Christian Science, she made no claim to be its originator, for the fundamental Principle of it is as old as the human race. This is not the time to discuss the tenets held by those persons who looked to her as their Leader; but it may not be out of place to express the hope that what is best in her teachings will survive. And there was much that was good in those teachings; more possibly than many of us are prepared to admit. A storm of controversy has raged around Christian Science and Mrs. Eddy. She was the victim of many bitter attacks and much misrepresentation. Shafts of ridicule were discharged against her and those who held as she did; but no one who knows the facts will venture to deny that what she taught has been a source of hope and comfort to thousands.
