A Loving Gift

Laura C. Tucker, Mary Baker Eddy

A letter in this article was later republished in The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany: My. 166:25-167:13

New London, Conn., February 27, 1905.

My Dear Mrs. Moore: —Enclosed please find check for one hundred and seventy-five dollars, a most loving offering from the members of First Church of Christ, Scientist, of New London, Conn., to our beloved Leader, Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy, to be used to purchase a cabinet to contain the beautiful edition of her works in her room in the Concord Church. Though this gift represents self-denial, it also stands for loyalty and obedience to the divine Principle of Christian Science, and a purified and chastened affection, whereby we are being enabled to appreciate the unparalleled self-sacrifice and love of our great Leader. May this cabinet containing our Leader's works, like the Ark of the Covenant of old, typify that spiritual consciousness wherein "If ye abide in me [Christ], and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you."

With love, Laura C. Tucker.
