That Mrs. Eddy's name is seldom mentioned as worthy of...

Bellingham (Wash.) Journal-Progressive

That Mrs. Eddy's name is seldom mentioned as worthy of a place among the great women of the world seems inexplicable. Were the only monument to her memory the founding of a religion which in a few short years numbers its adherents in millions and in every nationality, we might explain this oversight to ourselves on the theory that small indeed is the earthly reward of those who tread spiritual pathways. But even at that the name of this great American woman is probably better known and more familiar in more countries today than that of any other woman to whom the world has given birth.

One does not need to endorse the spiritual teachings of Mrs. Eddy to realize the greatness of their author; the growth of her following speaks eloquently for itself. Apart altogether from the foundation and the business management of one of the great churches of the world, she is the founder of a daily newspaper that ranks second to no publication in the world in its reliability, the cleanness of its columns, and its impartiality; also of several other publications. While she herself never attained fame in the newspaper field, and never, as far as we know, attempted to, yet her accomplishments in this direction, if they do not altogether outshine, form at least a worthy rival to those of the Pulitzers, the Gordon Bennetts, and all the rest. A wonderful woman indeed!
