[From a review by Crawfurd Price, in the Sunday Times, London, England]

[Those] who have studied her [Mrs. Eddy's] writings, and are more than superficially acquainted with the movement she sponsored, will be content to remember that the Master himself, on whom she relied for her inspiration, was reviled and persecuted and finally crucified between two malefactors. . . . Her influence was, and is, spiritual. She will be known by her works. And of her works it must be said that in a few short years her interpretation of Christ [Jesus'] message has become one of the greatest (it may well prove the greatest) religious forces in the world. She expounded a creed which for hundreds of thousands has solved the paradox of orthodox Christianity—that a wise, beneficnet, and all-powerful God, or Deity, or Principle, could permit the sin, misery, and suffering that besmirches the human conception of creation.
