Death of Mrs. Eddy.

To the women who have exerted an
incomprehensible influence over the
spiritual and physical lives of great
numbers Of people is now added Mrs
Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Chris
tian Science. No matter what one may
think of Mrs. Eddy's peculiar doctrine,
the fact remains that il had sufficient
fn it to attract the profound belief and
enthusiastic advocacy of tens of thou
sands of our Intelligent men and wom-
en-. These not only believed in what
Mrs. Eddy taught and practiced it in
their lives. but they were generous in
giving UP their money for the propaga-
zion and establishpent of the creed.
Christian Science has had the most
wonderful spread Of any of the minor
creeds in the Christian Church since
John Wesley established Methodism,
and in 1902 the Church had about 700
established congregations in the United
etates, Great Britain, Canada, Ger
many and France. many of which had
acquired large and costly edifices.
When we examine carefully the pub
ncations of this creed we find that
about the only additional features to
the usual Christian belief are the
stronger assertion of God as a Divine
principle and the source of all things
that the spirit or mind is the only
actually immortal substance or reality,
