Editor with contributions from Mary Baker Eddy

A letter in this article was later republished in The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany: My. 196:23-197:7

The following loving words of greeting, counsel, and encouragement were sent by our Leader to First Church of Christ, Scientist, St. Louis, upon the dedication of its recently completed church edifice. These words will be read with profit and appreciation by all.

First Church of Christ, Scientist, St. Louis, Mo.

My Beloved Brethren :— The good in being, even the spiritually indispensable, is your daily bread — work and pray for it. The poor toil for our bread, and we should work for their health and holiness. Over the glaciers of winter the summer glows. The beauty of holiness comes from the departure of sin. Enjoying good things is not evil, but becoming slaves to pleasure is. That error is most forcible which is least distinct to conscience. Attempt nothing without God's help.
