Mrs. Eddy's greatness came from rediscovering and restoring the method of Christ's healing. Her book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," contains the rule by which to find one's relation to God and the resultant freedom from every evil that flesh is heir to. It is a book that must be studied to be understood, and hundreds of thousands today claim that it has introduced them to better morals, firm health, and a satisfying religion of the "I know" quality. To understand is to know. Understanding changes blind faith to realization—to knowing. Wisdom, godliness, and health may be attained by the practice of the teachings of Science and Health in connection with the Scriptures, and all, if they will, may demonstrate it. This happy consummation can be brought about not by retaining in consciousness old-time cherished but erroneous theories and beliefs, but by dismissing them, and putting in their place Mrs. Eddy's demonstrable truth as taught in the Bible and in her writings. This is not mere assertion,—it is fact—fact that may be stubborn, and yet gloriously so. Multitudes are proclaiming most solemnly and happily these facts. These multitudes are composed of intelligent, progressive persons in search of ultimate truth,—who do not want unsubstantiated theories, but who do want religious facts scientifically demonstrated in the Christ-way right in their own consciousness and experience. The remedy for all sin and error and all discord and all disease, as taught by Mrs. Eddy, is Truth, and Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

We thank Mrs. Eddy because she demands as did her Master the perfect life, and because she shows us how it can be accomplished. We thank her for reinstating the Christ-religion and proving it such by practical demonstration. We thank her for a religion that knows one God only. We thank her for founding and establishing a church scientifically Christian. We thank her for her "Key" that opens the spiritual Bible. We thank her for steadfastly continuing her studies in humanity's behalf under inhuman persecution; for her genuinely Christian life, without which it would have been impossible for her to become great in humanity's service.
