Parsons (Kan.) Sun

The death of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy removes from life one who has blessed life in the living. She gave to the world a new creed and a new guide of action, and whether you believe that creed or follow that guide, no one will doubt but that each has been for the betterment of humanity. The Church of Christ, Scientist, which she established, has grown in less than a half century to one of the great organizations of the world, embracing millions within its membership. Few founders of a sect have witnessed within their own life so great a growth of the organization of which they were the founder. Her death, while regretted, will cause no break in that growth nor take from her followers any of their faith and loyalty to the creed she gave them. One of the wonderful statements she has made was that her followers were to forget personality and work for the cause of Christian Science.
