Boston, Mass., Sept. 27, 1906.

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

Beloved Leader and Teacher:—I wish to tell you how deeply grateful I am for the confidence made manifest in my selection to fill the vacancy on the Board of Trustees of The Christian Science Publishing Society which was caused by the passing away of our faithful, loving, and loved brother, Joseph B. Clark. My earnest desire is to do my utmost in the work of the great Cause of Christian Science, wherever I am placed, and I am praying for guidance and wisdom in this most sacred trust. When the call came, I arranged to come here without delay, but I must say I came with some misgivings regarding my fitness for the place; however, the welcome accorded me by all of the splendid staff of workers here at headquarters was most hearty and kind, and I am encouraged to press forward, to live and work with the understanding I have gained of your teachings, believing that my shortcomings will be dealt with in a loving manner.

I wish to assure you, my dear Mrs. Eddy, if there is any way whereby I can in the least degree contribute to your comfort and pleasure, it will be a great joy for me to do so.

Again thanking you, I am Sincerely and gratefully your student,
Allison V. Stewart.

San Diego, Cal., Sept. 22, 1906.

Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy.

Beloved Leader:—It is with great joy and gratitude that we announce to you the dedication of our church,—First Church of Christ, Scientist, of San Diego, Cal. We realize that it is because of your unselfed labor of love for mankind that we have been enabled to make this demonstration; also that the revelation of the true idea of God and man to this age has made possible such a church.

In common with the rest of our brethren, we have had many problems to face, much of error to meet and overcome, many trials to endure, but all this has impelled us to look more steadfastly to that divine Love which governs us, and thus to stand together in the unity of Spirit. Since coming into our new church home last December, our numbers have steadily increased, and we trust that the seed of truth sown in this field during past years will now bear an abundant harvest.

We pray that this branch my be ever loyal to the Vine, glorifying God in all its work, and manifesting its gratitude to you by ever reflecting Truth and Love. We are striving to realize that our growth depends upon our meekly following in the footsteps of our blessed Master,—and our obedience to you, the Wayshower to this age. We pray that this church may stand in this community a monument to the healing power of Christian Science, "Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ."

Ever yours in the Love that is God,
Anna S. Porter, Clerk.

Pipe Creek, Tex., Sept. 23, 1906.

Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy.

Dearly Beloved Leader:—Because of a very deep feeling of gratitude and love to God, and our Leader, we make this attempt to express what Christian Science has done for us. About eighteen months ago we were presented with a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." After reading the book through, we were fully convinced of the truthfulness of Christian Science, and since reading it we have had several demonstrations. We are most thankful for this wonderful truth through which there is revealed a new world, and our only desires are so to live that we may reflect Love as taught by our Leader. The Bible and the Christian Science text-book are our daily studies. Well may we pray as did the disciples, "Increase our faith." Elmira and Julia Dunlap.

Ottawa, Ont., Sept. 25, 1906.

Mrs. Mary B. G. Eddy.

Beloved Leader:—We, the members of the 1906 class of Mrs. Elizabeth Higman, C.S.B., your loyal student, desire, on this closing day of our class, to express unitedly our gratitude for your marvelous teaching, which brings to our comprehension the "here" and "now" of Spirit,—the new heaven and new earth, including the new man and new woman of God's creating. We see, more clearly than ever before, the place that you, our dear Leader, should occupy in the thought of those who are so richly blessed through your sacred discovery,—so precious to you, so generously bestowed, so lovingly guarded. The very thought of your life—your wondrous patience, tenderness, and fearlessness in rebuking sin—inspires us to more consecrated living, that we, too, may demonstrate Christian Science through healing the sick and the sinful.

Most gratefully yours,
Millicent Brennan,
John Stewart, Committee.

Massillon, O., Sept. 15, 1906.

Beloved Leader:—Having been restored to health from a life of semi-invalidism, with some hopeless conditions attached to it; having been given a knowledge of God, when before I had not even a belief of one; having seen the opposition of family and friends melt away, my husband give up a medical practice of many years and turn with earnestness and expectation to the teaching of Science and Health; having seen our church acquire a respected place in the community within three years of its organization. I thought I realized my great cause for gratitude to Christian Science and to you. But this was so illy manifested that I was one of those who went to Concord during this Communion season, and this has caused me deep, if unavailing regret. Since this experience there has come, however, a renewed endeavor to rise from the sense of person to a better understanding of man; to be more watchful, to do better work, and I am hoping thereby to be more worthy the name of Christian Scientist.

In devotion to our Cause and to you its Leader, I am Sincerely your follower,
Ann Delia Pease.

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

Beloved and Revered Leader:—I do not feel worthy so great a privilege as that my letter should come under your personal notice, but I wish to express the gratitude I feel for Science and Health and your "Miscellaneous Writings;" for the light that has enabled me to discern your unselfed love,—your work for all humanity. Words seem inadequate, and a sense of reverence fills my thought when I reflect on the example you have set for all to follow who love Christ, Truth,—an example of patience and charity beyond words to express. You are truly obeying Christ's command, "Love your enemies;" taking up the cross, and with unremitting toil striving lovingly to have all go and do likewise. My duty is to work more faithfully, to be meek, to purify my own thought, and to reflect universal love. By this only can I in a measure pay my debt of gratitude to you for showing me the way to find Life eternal.

Faithfully and gratefully,
Florence K. Paulson.
