Dear Leader and Guide:—We, the teachers in the Sunday School of The Mother Church, desire to express to you our gratitude for, and appreciation of, the new By-law and Amendment, Article XIX., Sections 5 and 6 of the Church Manual, in regard to Sunday School work. We recognize that the subject for lessons given in this By-law is the basis of Christian Science and is therefore of the greatest importance in our foundation work.

From past experience we have all learned the wisdom of your guidance, and our desire is that we may more closely follow and obey your teaching.

Faithfully and lovingly yours,
Calvin C. Hill, Superintendent.
For the Teachers.

Mrs. Eddy's Reply.

Mr. Calvin C. Hill, Superintendent, and teachers of the Sunday School of The Mother Church, Boston, Mass.

Beloved Students:—I read with pleasure your approval of the Amendments of Article XIX., Sections 5 and 6,—in our Church Manual. Be assured that fitness and fidelity such as thine, in the officials of my church, give my solitude sweet surcease. It is a joy to know that they who are faithful over foundational trusts such as the Christian education of the dear children,—reap the reward of rightness, rise in the scale of being, and realize at last their Master's promise, "And they shall be all taught of God."

Mary Baker Eddy.
