When asked who would take charge of the cause of Christian Science in time to come, Mrs. Eddy answered, according to Henry Robinson’s Biographical Sketch: That question has resolved itself into a fatal mistake. I do not carry on the work myself. It is only through the influence of the Lord that I do it, and the Lord is the one who will carry it on. There is no more speculation on how the work will be carried on in the future than there is on what the future discoveries in astronomy will show, or what will be done in the nebulae. Why it is an infinite subject. Speculation is void. My life has been such a demonstration of this that it would amaze you. Mary Baker Eddy (Oakes, Richard, Essays and Bible Lessons, (Red Book), p.73)
