One of the remarkable characters not well understood by the world at large was Mary Baker Eddy. Her religious zeal, her claims, and her work would make a good subject for a sermon. In the first place, she built up a larger following than any other woman who has ever lived has built up. It has been given only to men in the past to become leaders of large classes of people, the organizations founded upon the teachings of women having always been limited in numbers.

In the next place, it is doubtful if any other person has lived in modern times who has had a more loyal following, those professing the doctrines she taught not only making those doctrines a part of their daily lives, but passing to eternity without fear of the future while embracing them. In other words, they have found Christian Science not only a religion by which to live, but also a religion which comforted in the last hours. In no other church today is there more implicit faith than in the Christian Science church, and that faith is centered in the words of this one woman and her interpretation of the Scriptures.
