Christian Science Benevolent Association Fund

Editor

"On behalf of the Christian Science Society, Pretoria, S. Africa, I have much pleasure in forwarding the enclosed draft for £25. 15. 3., £25. 5. 3. of which is to be devoted to the Christian Science Benevolent Association fund. The sender of the additional ten shillings wishes the amount to go to the Real Estate fund. We esteem it a great privilege to be able to contribute to this grand project, the achievement of which will, we know, prove an inestimable blessing to humanity."

"In recognition and in grateful appreciation of the great benefits received daily from the teachings and through the application of Christian Science, as taught in the textbook, 'Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures' by Mary Baker Eddy, as well as through the other writings of this great gentlewoman, it is my earnest desire to join and to help to further the great cause of Christian Science, well knowing that it will be a blessing to suffering humanity, even as it has been to me ever since Christian Science was brought into my life. I have today remitted by 'Japanese Foreign Money Order' the sum of U. S. Dollars 50.00, and leave with you the decision as to whether the amount shall be applied to one of the purposes indicated in the article 'Looking Forward,' appearing in Sentinel Feb. 12, 1916, or to both. With sincere gratitude I testify of the great help I am receiving through the authorized literature. My reverence for Mrs. Eddy is unbounded, and thanking God for all that He has bestowed on me, my prayer is that I may give and love more."

"Several Christian Scientists here [Berne, Switzerland], members of this society and others, have contributed the sum of $80, for which I am today sending you a cheque. This amount is to be equally divided between the two funds, that for acquiring real estate, and that for the Benevolent Association. It is only 'a drop in the bucket' as it were, but it is sent with much love and gratitude."
