Your issue of September 30 reported a sermon by an evangelist, in the course of which he asserted that "Mrs. Eddy said she could not die, but she did." Mrs. Eddy never made any such claim for herself, and the best refutation I can offer is her own written statement which may be found on page 43 of one of her books, "Unity of Good": "The achievement of this ultimatum of Science, complete triumph over death, requires time and immense spiritual growth.

"I have by no means spoken of myself, I cannot speak of myself as 'sufficient for these things.' I insist only upon the fact, as it exists in divine Science, that man dies not, and on the words of the Master in support of this verity,—words which can never 'pass away till all be fulfilled.' "

On page 40 of the same book she also states, "To say that you and I, as mortals, will not enter this dark shadow of material sense, called death, is to assert what we have not proved."
