Boston, December 11, 1904, Sunday Afternoon.

Dearly Beloved Leader:—We had such interesting services to-day that I want to send you a few words of loving gratitude, for I know we were included in you prayers and received the divine blessings therefrom. There was a marked interest in the service, especially in the Lesson-Sermon, which was given the closest attention by the congregation. The subject, "Is the universe, including man, evolved from atomic force?" is a deep one, but it was clearly and interestingly worked out by the Bible Lesson Committee,—the six sections taking up in turn the creations from Spirit, from dust, from a rib, from an egg. the immaculate conception, and the new birth,—each topic being developed by most aptly chosen selections from the Scriptures and your wonderful "Key." It was very impressive to me and a great privilege to read it.

I want to thank you for having the solo sung before the Sermon. It is a great improvement in many ways, the service, virtually closing with the Sermon, leaves the predominating thought with the congregation. I am sure it will increase the efficacy of our services.
