Meriden (Conn.) Record

The passing of Mary Baker Eddy removes one of the most remarkable women of the present century. It matters little whether one subscribes to her creed or not, the fact remains that this woman became a potent factor in making people think and in compelling them to blaze the way either for her beliefs or for others which they themselves discovered.

There are many people who have no sympathy with Christian Science who have indirectly been greatly aided by the interest taken in it. All the theories of mental science, the effect of mind over matter, gained new impetus from Mrs. Eddy's teachings. The very extremes to which she went caused people to look up the subject, if for no loftier purpose than that of curiosity. Investigation led into devious ways. The result was a large addition to the sum total of human knowledge. And it must be admitted that if the general results of the knowledge gained by investigations made into the subject of Christian Science could be known, it would be found it had been for the good of humanity.
