Mary Baker Eddy is famous because she established what grew within her lifetime to be one of the ... most powerful of religious sects.

Much has been written in praise of her, and a vast literature against her has been complied by her detractors. But as this has been true of practically all religious leaders of note who have stepped aside of orthodoxy to set up something new, it may be dismissed as being of no consequence. No attention should be paid to the numerous scurrilous attacks made upon her character, unless it be to accept them as proof that there was something great and noble about Mary Baker Eddy to call forth such bitter hostility.
