It is a well-known axiom that the heterodoxy of one generation becomes the orthodoxy of the next.

The fact that Mrs. Eddy attracted approximately one million of intelligent and God-fearing men and women to her system of religion and therapeutics in the short space of forty years is ample evidence that her teachings are sound and practical. She made no claims as to her ability to prolong her physical life indefinitely; but we must not lose sight of the statement of our Master, that whosoever lived and believed in him should never die; or that he commanded all men to be perfect, even as the Father in heaven is perfect.
