Atlanta, Ga., February 19, 1905.

Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy, Pleasant View, Concord, N. H.

Beloved Leader:—Many years ago my eyes were opened to the light of infinite Love, our Father-Mother God, through the study of that wondrous book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," with the aid of my dear teacher, in this southland. The thought of "Immanuel, or God with us," learned therein, was new to me, but my awakened consciousness perceived the Christ-Principle and I was healed of many troubles, one the belief that a just and loving God had taken my dear mother and father. With my higher understanding of God as Love, I have been able to comfort those that mourn. I have pondered much our Master's words, "Behold, the kingdom of God is within you," and I am daily striving, and praying, for the purity of thought that leads to Spirit. "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God," has always been my favorite beatitude. As I read your beautiful article on "Heaven" in a recent number of the Sentinel, I desired to express my deep love and gratitude for all that has come to me through your teaching and consecrated life. I am sure your definition of heaven will bring peace and comfort to all who read it. With tenderest love for all you are doing to uplift humanity, I am.
