Hammond (Ind.) Times

The death of Mary Baker Eddy marks the passing into the "great beyond" of the most remarkable woman who ever lived. In spite of the opposition she encountered, she founded a religion and built up a church that is the wonder of the world today. The ordinary mind, not in harmony with the tenets of Christian Science, is not qualified to pass judgment upon it nor upon the work of Mrs. Eddy per se. It is easy for the scoffer, in speaking of any religion, to point out that only the emotional, the susceptible, and the ignorant are swayed by religion. Can one do aught else but be amazed when considering that Mrs. Eddy's teachings and her faith have in the main been accepted by the people of the greatest intelligence and finest character? When one thinks of the noble men and women who have embraced Christian Science as children have faith in their parents, it is not hard to understand how the death of this splendid woman has moved the world.
