Tribute from Mrs. Eddy
This tribute was later republished in The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany: My. 291:1-292:11
In response to a request from the committee on arrangements for the memorial service at Concord, N. H., September 19, the Rev. Mary Baker Eddy sent the following tribute to President McKinley's life, and words of sympathy to the chief mourner. It was published in many daily newspapers in Boston and elsewhere. These strong and powerful, yet deeply tender words, will go down in history as among the greatest tributes paid to the beloved President.
Their conciseness is as remarkable as their great depth of meaning. They are indeed worthy the careful perusal and study of all thinking and patriotic people. It was as follows:—
"Imperative, accumulative, holy demands rested on the life and labors of our late beloved President, William McKinley. Presiding over the destinies of a nation meant more to him than a mere rehearsal of aphorisms, a uniting of breaches soon to widen, a quiet assent or dissent. It began with heavy strokes, measured movements, reaching from the infinitesimal to the infinite. It began warming the marble of politics into zeal according to wisdom, quenching its volcanoes, uniting the interests of all peoples, and it ended a universal good overcoming evil.
