Letters to our Leader

with contributions from C. Violet Spiller, Frances Freeland Hagaman, Alice Lumpkin

Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy.

Beloved Leader:—As we have no State-appointed Thanksgiving Day in England, we held our Thanksgiving service on the last evening of the old year. After the Lesson-Sermon had been read, the meeting was kept open for testimonies. So many rose to express their gratitude to God for Christian Science, and to you as its Discoverer and Founder, that it was suggested by a member of the congregation that all present might like to unite in sending to our Leader an expression of our sense of gratitude for her life-work, whereupon the entire congregation of about five hundred people rose to their feet, and the following motion was unanimously adopted:—

"That the congregation of First Church of Christ, Scientist, London, at this their first Thanksgiving service, desire to express to Mrs. Eddy, the Discoverer, Founder, and Leader of Christian Science, their deep sense of gratitude for, and appreciation of, her life-work."
