Kokomo (Ind.) Dispatch

Naturally enough, the death of Mrs. Eddy has revived wide discussion of the principles and the prospects of the religious cult which she founded. While the opening of Congress and the President's message are subjects for much editorial comment, in quantity and earnestness of discussion they give place to Christian Science. In this connection, it is due to that religious movement to emphasize the fact that its orgin, its progress, and its present status have been marked by none of the elements of disorder and bitterness which have characterized the developments of other forms of faith.

It is a familiar saying that religions have caused more wars and bloodshed than all other elements in the world's history. Even the reformation was not free from hatreds and political elements. Official preferment and wide-spread disaffection attended the various contests between Catholicism and Protestantism in England. And so it has been in all religious history—till the faith taught by Mrs. Eddy came into the world. Whatever the individual opinions concerning that faith, and whatever may be its destiny, it is essentially a religion of peace.
