The Letter of the Pastor Emeritus

Editor with contributions from M., Mary Baker G. Eddy

A letter in this article was later republished in The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany: My. 133:21-134:19

The following letter read at the Communion services, was worthily supplemented by the brief address which Mrs. Eddy delivered from the balcony of her residence in Concord on Monday last. The latter was remarkable for the fact that the speaker, apparently without effort, succeeded in being heard by practically all of the assembled thousands. To address an audience of this size, in the open air, is a task which few public speakers would undertake with any hope of being heard by more than a limited number, but Mrs. Eddy's strong, clear voice was distinctly heard even by those a long distance removed.

These utterances of our Leader contain much food for thought, and if we are wise we will carefully ponder their import and take into our hearts their loving counsel, and endeavor to imbibe their exalted Christian sentiment.

The following is Mrs. Eddy's letter read at the Communion service; the address delivered at Pleasant View appears on page 696 of this issue.    M.
