In the Times . . . under the heading "Today in History," there appeared a strange series of statements about Mary Baker Eddy, which would give the erroneous impression that the last nineteen years of Mrs. Eddy's life were spent in hidden seclusion, suffering, and inaccessibility. Such an impression is too remote from the facts to stand uncorrected. I do not question the motives of the writer, but I question the authority or firsthand knowledge of his sources.

Arthur Brisbane, one of the outstanding newspaper writers of his time, published an interview with Mrs. Eddy in 1907, when she was eighty-six. He spoke firsthand of her health and vitality, her remarkable mental keenness, her naturalness, and her alert grasp of world affairs.
