Los Angeles (Cal.) Record

In the passing of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, Founder and Leader of the Church of Christ, Scientist, this world has lost one of the most wonderful women it has ever known. Over two score years ago she discovered what she believed was the real religion taught in the Bible. Her ideas were ridiculed and attacked on every side. But she was not disheartened. She met all attacks, all opposition, calmly, bravely, as one who had the true courage of her convictions, and persevered. Little by little others came to believe as she did, and today the Christian Science movement has spread all over the world and has millions of faithful adherents, who daily thank God for His goodness, and give expression of their gratitude to Mrs. Eddy for her work in opening the door of this religion to them.

Although there are millions who believe in Christian Science, there are more millions who do not, but even the most bitter enemies must admit that Christian Science has done much to relieve suffering, and has brought health, happiness, and peace to hundreds of thousands who were ill, physically, morally, spiritually. Mrs. Eddy was a brilliant woman, a brave woman, and the world has been made better by her presence. Could she speak today, in the flesh, it seems as if she might fittingly say, as did Paul: "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing."
