Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, who passed away on Saturday...

Evening Journal

Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, who passed away on Saturday night, may be regarded without exaggeration as the most remarkable woman of her times. Her hold upon her followers was indeed wonderful. In a day when all questions of a religious nature are subjected to the most critical tests, when some boast that the statements and influences of men of regular science have great weight and tend to demolish religious theories and principles of the past, Mrs. Eddy founded a religious denomination which has grown and prospered in a very remarkable manner. Her adherents have been and are of a type of high intelligence.

One thing evident about the true Christian Scientists, which shows the powerful and beneficial influence that Mrs. Eddy has exerted in the world, is that they are firm in the faith, energetic and relentless in upholding it, and to all outward appearances in their lives are most happy. The religion founded by Mrs. Eddy has brought peace to many a distressed soul. After all, what higher benefit could it confer?
