Mrs. Eddy's Achievement.
From the Springfield Republican.
It was a career from which everyone may draw immense inspiration. Furthermore, it is the inspiration that must come from the spectacle of astonishing achievement brought about by a woman whose whole life up to the age of 50 had been an utter failure, as the world viewed it and as many of her intimate acquaintances estimated it. One may search history from the beginning and difficulty in matching Mrs. Eddy's performance, between the ages of 50 and 80, in making a million people accept her at her own valuation. No one can read the story of her career and say that a life which seems the dreariest of futile in middle age may not contain the possibilities of large achievement in the remaining years. For the part played by circumstances in affording the requisite opportunity for the development of a remarkable personality was never more vividly shown than in this woman's late unfolding as the leader of what is known as Christian Science.
