Providence (R. I.) News
Mrs. Eddy has been the subject of much comment, but that she was a great leader of men and women is proven by the many thousands of adherents that she secured in the most cultured sections of this country. The handsome church structures that the Christian Scientists have erected in Boston and this city indicate at least that they have a firm confidence in the continuance of their organization. Nothing is easier than to find fault with those who advocate changes of such a radical nature as did Mrs. Eddy, and yet the fact remains that, no matter what doubters may assert, many have found bodily health and more mental calm by reason of the attention given to the courses she advocated.
Mrs. Eddy had stanch friends and many earnest workers in her cause. She undoubtedly did much good, and whether one agrees with either the religious views she advanced or her belief in the all-powerful control of matter by mind, she alleviated much real distress and gave to men and women, many of them of undoubted sincerity, a new faith at least in themselves. Her long life, therefore, was a most useful one and she will long be remembered as one of the remarkable personages of the last years of the connecting extremes of two progressive centuries.
