There is no little significance in the fact that the Founder of Christian Science will be taken to Mount Auburn, her last resting-place, today with simple ceremony. It is even more significant that in the messages received by the church authorities from all parts of the world there is no note of sadness or of disturbance regarding the future. If for nothing else, then for the simplicity and the serenity which she inculcated by precept and practice, Mrs. Eddy has deserved the tributes that since Sunday have been appearing here and abroad. In an age which has been making special reports on neurasthenia, it is remarkable, if not positively providential, that through the agency of a woman, the world should have received partial relief by the exercise of a faith that was not permitted to backslide. There is great good in most beliefs. In this particular case that good was realized by steadfast practice of a gospel. It is a lesson which even those who run may read.
