Instead of rebuking her editor, she lets him rebuke those "good people" for objecting to the claim.
These things seem to throw light upon those words, "our [my] divine origin." It may be that "Christian Science eschews divine rights in human beings," and forbids worship of any but "one God, one Christ"; but, if that is the case, it looks as if Mrs.Eddy is a very unsound Christian Scientist, and needs disciplining.

I believe she has a serious malady--"self-deification"; and that it will be well to have one of the experts demonstrate over it.
Meantime, let her go on living--for my sake.

Closely examined, painstakingly studied, she is easily the most interesting person on the planet, and, in several ways, as easily the most extraordinary woman that was ever born upon it.
P.S .-- Since I wrote the foregoing, Mr.McCrackan's article appeared (in the March number of the North American Review).

Before his article appeared--that is to say, during December, January, and February--I had written a new book, a character-portrait of Mrs.Eddy, drawn from her own acts and words, and it was then--together with the three brief articles previously published in the North American Review--ready to be delivered to the printer for issue in book form.

In that book, by accident and good luck, I have answered the objections made by Mr.
McCrackan to my views, and therefore do not need to add an answer here.
Also, in it I have corrected certain misstatements of mine which he has noticed, and several others which he has not referred to.
