Show Wo are at a loss to discern why so many newspapers and so many Individuals In-dividuals aro and have been so anxious anx-ious for tho death of Mrs. Eddy, the founder of tho Christian Science church. Mrs. Eddy Is now border.ng on four score and ten years. She lias done an incalculable amount of good in her long life. She has harmed no one. Sho desires to do good and has done good to those who have slandered her and despltofully used her. If sho has discovered and put into in-to practlco tho most delightful religious reli-gious system, (If a sound system), ever known on this earth and it has been demonstrated that there is at least some truth and soundness in It, a system which is of benefit to all people, why should thoso people whom It would benefit try to tear it down? Why nro they so anxious for tho death or tho "passing out" of ono who has never done them aught but good, ono whose theories, If fully established and put into practice, would bring them happiness, contentment and peace? If Mrs. Eddy can live forever and teach others how to llvo forever, or thinks sho can why should her detractors de-tractors object? Why should sho not bo helped in her most laudable desires and alms? Why should sho not be nsslstcd in her work of mercy and love towards all humanity? Wo are not Christian Scientists, perhap3 because be-cause wo don't know enough to uo Christian Scientists, but wo hope this estiniablo old lady may llvo forever and that her benign theories and practices prac-tices may become universal. n |
