Kansas City, Mo., June 7, 1905.

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

In response to the reminder from the Directors of The Mother Church, appearing in the Sentinel of May 27, and in recognition of the need of the hour, and the great blessing to be derived by all mankind through the completion of The Mother Church, a special business meeting of the members of First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Kansas City, Mo., was held June 2. As a result of this meeting the sum of $2,000 has been forwarded to Mr. Chase. At another meeting, held to-night, June 7, it was unanimously decided to postpone much-needed repairs on our local church edifice, and to forward to The Mother Church the amount of $1,352.00, which had been especially raised for these repairs. A surplus of $300.00 from our general fund was added to this amount, making a total of $18.212.00 forwarded to date. We firmly believe that the need of this hour demands a loving sacrifice from every Christian Scientist, and in this we are endeavoring to follow your example of self-sacrifice and love for mankind. We feel assured that as a branch of The Mother Church our every need will be supplied through the fulfilment of this, our present and paramount duty.
