At the head of the list of anniversary congratulations to well-known people which Life prints every week, there stands in the issue of July 14, 1910, the following tribute. It gives us much pleasure to reproduce this tribute from Life, and to express in Mrs. Eddy's behalf due acknowledgment and thanks for this courteous appreciation of her life and of her life-work.—Editor.
It is a real pleasure to offer our felicitations to one of the most remarkable women ever born in this country. Mrs. Eddy has had truly a wonderful career. More maligned than any woman has ever been that we can now recall, and, on the other hand, more exalted, she has held her course in apparent serenity; and at present, at an advanced age, is still the head and front of one of the greatest religious movements known. She has made the doctors sit up and be more careful; she has attracted crowds of worshipers, and she still remains with us in undiminished glory. Every effort to dislodge her has only resulted in disaster.
Madam, you have established a true claim upon our respect. However much we may disagree with your views, it is of much more consequence that we should acknowledge your powerful personality.
