Letter to Mrs. Eddy

Lewis B. Coates

Salt Lake City, May 7, 1900.

Beloved Mother and Teacher:— Pardon me if this letter takes your attention from any important work. For some time it has been recurring to me to write you and say that many times when a good sense of the omnipotence of Good dawns upon me; when I catch clearer glimpses of "all is Mind," and when I see the necessity of such a revelation before mortals can be saved, I can but think that the revelation and establishment of Christian Science is the greatest blessing the world has yet seen.

It seems to me that your revelation solves the enigma of mortal existence, dives to the depths and explains the Science of Being, and that no other writings extant do that. It seems that the other Prophets have not even hinted at this. This revelation had to come. A Scientific Christianity is a necessity; anything short of that is illogical and absurd.
