New Era

Judged by her achievements, Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy was one of the extraordinary figures of the nineteenth century. Putting aside all claims for the wonderful healing ascribed to the following of her teaching, one great practical good is apparent from her efforts, and that is the stimulation they have given to the reading and careful studying of the Scriptures by thousands of her followers, who by their optimistic views of life make their earthly journey one of hope and confidence born of a great love toward their Maker. To them the golden rule is the cardinal doctrine of conduct in their relations with their fellow-beings, and possessing, as they do, and abiding faith in their destiny, they face the world with a serenity of mind that adds greatly to the joys of life.

At this time it is proper to recognize the dimensions of her practical achievements and the claims which her remarkable personality and her creed have upon the world's attention and regard.
