[Copy of telegram from Chicago, received November 12, 1899.]

Rev. Mary Baker Eddy, Concord, N. H., November 12, 1899.

At a meeting representing all the Churches of Christ, Scientist, in Chicago, it was resolved that the Christian Scientists of Chicago in deep gratitude for the wise and loving example and counsel of the Rev. Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, hereby express their appreciation of her patient toil and ceaseless efforts for the weal of mankind as leader of our denomination. Her faithful ministry has resulted in the healing of the multitude and justly won for her the trust, esteem, and love of million. Having been associated with her during many of her thirty years of unparalleled labor for the world, we denounce every evil effort to impeach the purity of her motives and the rectitude which has governed all her actions; and we repudiate as un-Christian and pernicious any publication whatsoever that lends itself to the misrepresentation of her righteous life, and the Publishing Society which she has founded.
