Mrs. Eddy is the Founder of a society that has its followers in every part of the world. They have gathered themselves together in all the cities of America, and many of the finest edifices for religious purposes have been erected by the Christian Scientists. Whatever some may think of Mrs. Eddy, or of the nature of the influence she has exerted, it must be admitted by all that that influence has been wonderful as well as far-reaching. She touched many of the springs of human activity, and she must have reached the heartstrings of humanity, satisfied some of the quests of the human soul, or she would not have gathered such a world-wide following. It is also to be noted that her followers have not been among the ignorant, but among the great middle class of American intellectual life. Christian Science has flourished most among those classes which are able to think for themselves.

The effect of Mrs. Eddy's death upon the church will not be momentous. That great body is well disciplined, and Mrs. Eddy has provided for the continuation of the organization, as well as she did for its founding. We are told there will be no successor in the church. She will stand alone.
