All over the world are homes which have been brightened...

[The Alaska Citizen, Fairbanks, Alaska.]

All over the world are homes which have been brightened by the doctrine taught by this truly great woman. Through her works a new religion has been established, and has taken root wherever Christianity is practised. While by no means universally accepted as all-embracing, even its opponents are compelled to admit that it achieves with thousands that uplift they have vainly sought through other teachings. And there is little doubt that this new religion is sufficiently well founded to insure of its enduring for all time. In the earlier period of the era of Christian Science, Mrs. Eddy found her task a heavy one; for, like the Saviour, she was reviled and discredited by the scoffers. It was then her Christian fortitude was evidenced to a marked degree, and her calm refusal to be goaded into reprisals undoubtedly won many thousands to her cause.

In the death of Mrs. Eddy the world has lost a teacher whose doctrines have become, in two decades, more widespread, and have been adopted to a greater degree, than those of any man or woman who has lived in the past hundred years. That those teachings have been for the world's betterment will be most eagerly acknowledged by the many followers who today mourn her death.
