The death of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy marks the passing...

Rochester (N. Y.) Times

The death of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy marks the passing of a woman who is probably the most notable of this generation; certainly none other has had more widespread influence or is regarded with greater reverence by more people. The church or creed which she founded has spread to all parts of the world, has millions of followers, and among those followers are included some of the most intellectual and cultured persons of every community.

Personally, Mrs. Eddy was a woman of a most lovable character. Abuse of all sorts had been showered on her at different times in her career, but she bore it with a patience which ultimately disarmed many of her critics. She had been termed an impostor by many persons, but in recent years the world had come to take a fairer view of her. Whatever may be said of the tenets of the creed she taught, one thing is certain—no man or woman ever founded such a creed, which spread to all sections of the world and has made millions of converts, who was not absolutely sincere in her own belief in that creed or religion.
