lower or Jesus CnTlSt, eHiuiaih6
many of His mighty works, knows
life eternal and she knows 1t now
even better than yesterday. We
know, despite all mortal seeming to
the contrary, that she still lives and
still works OH unfolding the deep
things OF God.
THE life of Mrs. Eddy has been
mighty inspiration to men ana
women in every civilized land OF the
globe to turn them from material
things to understand and know God,
who is infinite love, thus healing and
purifying men and teaching them
true wisdom whose value is above
rubies.
''Bugle Call of Life"
Her writings and her demon
strations of the healing power OF
Christ have been a bugle call OF life
and hope to an age apparently abb
sorbed in material living and think
ing. Her influence as great spirit
ual teacher has not been confined to
the immediate circle of her loyal
followers. but it has profoundly I'M
pressed and vitalized the religious
life of all denominations.
"Mrs. Eddy's life purpose was
simple. 1t was to lead mankind to
know that God is all-in-all, and that
in Him we live and move and have
our being She loved her fellow
men, and the inspiration of all her
labors of long life was love for
God and man. Her life might well
be epitomized in this passage from
one of her poems:
"'My prayer, some daily good to do
To thine for Thee;
An offering. pure of love, whereto
God leadeth me-
"For number of years Mrs. Eddy
had been gradually withdrawing
from active work in the great church
organization of which she was the
head So wisely had she planned.
that the work of the church will go
on in its redemptive mission the
same as though she were present in
the flesh.
Religion Is Impersonal
christian Science, as taught by
Mrs. Eddy and elaborated in her
great work, Science and HEALTH is
an fmpersonal religion. 1t teaches
! that man should rely upon divine
I principle, God, and not on a person
or the personality OF anyone. To aid
her followers to look to God and not
to her has been the motive back OF
her retirement. Therefore, trusting
God more implicitly than ever be-
fore, the great army of Christian
/ Scientists throughout the world will
go on in the path she has made plain
to them, proving the works and
words OF Jesus and demonstrating
the power OF God to heal all di-
seases. destroy sin and ultimately
overcome the last enemy-even
death--and thus usher in the King
dom OF Heaven, the reign and rule
of Spirit.
History will prove Mary Baker
Eddy one of the greatest women that
ever lived. No other woman has SO
deeply stirred mankind to strive for
spiritual things. None other has her
clear spiritual vision, piercing the
clouds OF materiality and seeing the
true nature OF the spiritual universe.
Through her labors. and through
them alone, the healing power OF
God as Jesus demonstrated has been
again brought to earth and unnum-
bered thousands all over this globe.
healed of every disease known to
materia medica rise up and call her
blessed. But her work does not end
with healing the body. The practi-
cally unanimous verdict of those
who study and practice her teach
ings is that not only are they healed
of physical Ills. but they learn to
love God, the Bible, their fellow men
and gain that peace which transcends
mortal thought and lays hold on the
eternal verities OF God.
