Letters to our Leader

with contributions from George Tomkins, R. Evart

Brighton, Mass., February 23, 1904. Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy.

Beloved Leader and Teacher:—Your precious letter came with Spirit-inspiring encouragement to plod quietly on. I rejoice to know that my previous letter occasioned you gladness. We are enjoined to "Serve the Lord with gladness" and to pray, "Make us glad according to the days ... wherein we have seen evil." Your previous message was, "The waves beat in vain against such as build upon the Rock of Christ." Its sense is to me impregnable, imperishable, impersonal Truth, the vitality of all being, Principle, wholeness, and love.

As "Thankful Hearts" reported in the Sentinel (June 21, 1900), both my dear wife and myself have repeatedly and quickly healed like cases, both in children and adults. Since removing hither, I was called to visit a gentleman in his bed, with the most oppressive beliefs of grip and diphtheria. He was relieved of much suffering and fear after the first treatment, and on the third day, he was enabled to go to the city.
