Good Work in Christian Science

J. E. Fellers

Chicago, Ill., July 16, 1901.

Dear Mrs. B—:—

In many parts of Missouri there are rich agricultural sections inhabited by people of intelligence, refinement, and culture equal to any that may be found in the most aristocratic communities of Kentucky, Virginia, or the New England States. In one of these localities it has been the good fortune of myself and wife to make frequent visits in the last ten years. One year ago nothing was known of Christian Science in that neighborhood except such information as was contained in the criticisms of the various periodicals. These people were earnestly striving to live such lives, spiritually, as would be in keeping with their intelligence, scholarship, wealth, and high character. In that community lived an allopathic physician, who for over fifty years had been the recognized leader of its best thought, and who is the most beloved by all classes of any man I ever knew. Of him it might be said as was said of the poet John Keats, "When he passes on, the flowers in the cemetery will grow towards his grave."
