A few years ago a writer in a great London magazine, when commenting on Mrs. Eddy's "strength of character mingled with extraordinary tenderness for humanity," said, "Her one paramount impulsion has ever been the good of mankind." While only the sober estimate of posterity can rightly estimate the work of the human figures that pass across the world stage, the world is now inclined to accept the view of some of its more thoughtful leaders that among the great and good women of history, none will have a more enduring place than Mary Baker Eddy. Apparently of that high type of character which with deliberation chooses the spiritual things of life, Mrs. Eddy blazed a pathway of light along which have traveled with joy and gratitude millions of human beings. At an age when the average person counts his best work finished, Mrs. Eddy began her greatest effort, and, unlike other spiritual leaders of history, she lived to see her teachings established as a recognized influence for good in the world.

In the forty-two years since her first church was organized, Mrs. Eddy's teachings have spread throughout the world, through approximately two thousand distinct organizations, and have become a powerful influence in the lives of millions of people. The Christian Science publications, including The Christian Science Monitor, a daily newspaper of universally recognized excellence, carry their messages throughout the world.

Some Christian Scientists believe that Mrs. Eddy has evolved in the Manual a scientific system which will ultimately affect all human government and organization and insure the world's progress on a definite and practical basis by impelling the more rapid dawn of each succeeding stage of progressive unfoldment and the elimination of the long and bitter struggles which have always obstructed humanity's advancing footsteps.
