Christian Advocate

After all, newspaper reports to the contrary notwithstanding, the late Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, Founder and conservator of Christian Science, did leave considerable money to her son, his children, her adopted son, and several other beneficiaries. However, the bulk of her great fortune was bequeathed to the church founded by her genius and ability. Her fortune came to her largely through her book "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and numerous other writings. During her life she was liberal with her means, and in no sense can she be said to have been a woman of penurious nature. In various ways and to various humane institutions she opened her hand and scattered much of her annual income, and now in death it all goes largely to sustain the cause set upon foot by her life-work.
