Sandusky (O.) Register

The death of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy removes from the living one of the most remarkable women of the centuries. However people may differ about the doctrines she taught, however diverse human opinion may be as to her claims and her writings, whatever may be the final judgment of an intelligent Christian world concerning Christian Science, all must admit that she was a transcendent character. No other woman in modern times has ever reached anything like Mrs. Eddy's heights in leadership, in organization, and in enduring fame.

The church Mrs. Eddy founded but a few years ago already has a membership in this country of probable one hundred thousand, made up not of ignorant, credulous people, not of those who are easily duped, who are moved by prejudice and passion, but more largely than the average denominational church, of thoughtful people, educated people, intelligent and cultured people, drawn largely from the leading Protestant Christian churches throughout the world, a unique religious body unlike any other in history and yet holding to certain fundamental truths which people of all religious beliefs admit, a religious body having some of the finest edifices erected in modern times. Mrs. Eddy did not live in vain. The world has been made and will still be made the better for her having lived, and she has left an impress world-wide that will go down the centuries yet unborn.
