Cleveland (O.) Leader

One of the most remarkable women of the age, or of any age, has ended her career in the death of the Founder of Christian Science. The most bitter hostility to Mrs. Eddy and the most complete rejection of her doctrines and her church organization cannot, if honest and intelligent, deny that she has been a far-reaching and vital force in the thought and life of her times. The religion which she founded and completely dominated has more or less colored and permeated very important phases of existence for a multitude of men and women who do not call themselves Christian Scientists and are not, in fact, connected with the Christian Science organization.

Her doctrines and her great influence upon tens of thousands of intelligent people, in this country and in other lands, was a wholesome antidote to the extreme materialism which is one of the distinctive characteristics of the age. In so far as her teachings were credited and her conclusions were accepted, the ideal was exalted and the sensual and sensuous weakened. The spirit became more and material things less important. Nor can it be denied, by those who are well informed, that the result of the remarkable growth of Christian Science has been to give peace of mind and more wholesome conditions of life in every sense to many of Mrs. Eddy's followers.
