Boston, Mass., Oct. 29, 1906.

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

Beloved Leader:—Enclosed please find proofs of the amended By-law, and let me thank you for all you have done and are doing through these By-laws for the good government of your Church and for humanity. Your continued spiritual vision, mental activity, and tireless labors are showing "the pathway of peace" to tired humanity, and we, who know of your good works, are grateful for them, and love you. Lovingly yours,
Archibald McLellan.

Dear Mrs. Eddy:—My wife and I returned home ten weeks ago from our first visit to Boston, where it was our privilege to go in order to be present at the dedication of the Extension of The Mother Church, and it is because of the great and growing sense of love and gratitude to you, for all you have done and are doing for the whole of humanity, that I feel impelled to write these few lines, which, however, cannot convey the half of what we feel. As one of that wonderfully organized body of ushers at the six impressive services on that memorable Sunday, I was deeply impressed by the order, good-will, love, and hearty co-operation of that vast multitude, the like of which we had never seen since we first heard the good news given to the world by you in Science and Health. That great gathering seemed indeed to foreshadow the day, "of prophets long foretold." when "nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more," and when the universal brotherhood of man will be established. We are daily realizing more forcibly how grateful we should be that we were able to be present on that memorable occasion, and we feel that the two countries, America and England, are being drawn closer together, united by the bond of brotherly love made possible—I would say inevitable—through Christian Science.

There is much that I would like to tell of how we have been helped by the study of Science and Health and by the endeavor to follow as far as possible the way you have pointed out, whereby one is enabled to help others also; but above all we are grateful for having learned in some measure the true spiritual meaning of much in the Bible, a book which formerly we were unable to read with any degree of understanding. I cannot close this without venturing to thank you for your dedicatory Message, "Choose Ye." that points out so clearly our duty to God and to mankind, which we can to-day fulfil to the extent that we are willing to awaken and free ourselves from the bondage of the belief of life in matter. As superintendent of the Sunday School of First Church of Christ, Scientist, London, it is my privilege to see what great benefits the children derive from the teaching, which is conscientiously done in accordance with the By-laws in the Manual of The Mother Church, whereby they are learning to worship the "only true God," and at the same time are realizing the great debt of gratitude they owe to you, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science.

Yours ever sincerely and gratefully,
Algernon Hervey Bathurst.

Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 10, 1906.

Beloved Leader:—I want you to know of the evidences that I am meeting of the increased interest and good will of the public, and many of our foremost citizens towards your beloved Cause. I am told that since the dedication of the Extension to your church in Boston, the calls for healing and good and complete demonstrations are more numerous than ever. I am also told that the lectures are being attended by the largest audiences in the history of the movement. In Grand Rapids there were present, it was said, more than fifteen hundred. One of the papers reported the lecture in full and the others gave liberal and kindly reports. In Minneapolis twenty-five hundred were present and the papers gave excellent accounts. In both cities as elsewhere many of the best people in the community were in attendance. How beautiful it is that our leading citizens and eminent public men are coming into a true appreciation of Christian Science and a right understanding of its revered Leader.

In Chicago I had the pleasure of meeting your faithful students and able lecturers, Mrs. Mims and Judge Hanna, and I have just now had a pleasant call upon Miss Brookins, who was passing through Kansas City. All these lecturers give excellent accounts of the interest manifested in Christian Science and the attendance at the lectures. I hear good reports of the Cause in Kansas City. The churches are growing and First Church is so filled that they expect soon that it will be necessary to send off a new congregation. How good it is to see our Cause grow, through multiplication. The lecture last night at Second Church was largely attended by many of the leading citizens of Kansas City.

With sincere love and gratitude, I am

Lovingly,

Irving C. Tomlinson.

My Loved Leader:—Just nine years ago to-day I was instantly healed of lung trouble by reading one paragraph from your dear book, Science and Health, beginning on page 406, line 19. I love the book, I love the paragraph, and most of all I love the one who wrote the words. My work has been almost alone, for I have never been with Christian Scientists very much until I came here, about two years ago. I had class instruction from one of your dear students, and shortly after was in her office, until our city was disturbed and we all had to change our offices. This letter you may never see my good and loving friend, for you are indeed a friend, but I felt impelled to write a few words, thought words fail me when I try to express thanks to you for giving to me and to the world so great a gift.

God bless you, our faithful, obedient Leader, and may I help you in being obedient and ready to work for the dear Father. In loving and tender gratitude for all you have done for me, Mame A. Breyman.

London, England, Sept. 22, 1906.

Beloved Leader:—I want to thank you for the new By-law relating to "Testimonials" and to tell you of an experience which I had. A few days ago I was relating a demonstration to a beginner, and began to enter into details of the suffering connected with the disease that had been overcome, when suddenly and clearly the new By-law came before me, and the description of error was left unfinished. I got a wonderful glimpse, and prayed that I might more constantly and fully obey those words. "Glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." I saw that this means another great step forward,—it will help us to "let the dead bury their dead," and to prove "that our conversation is in heaven;" so that "discord of every name and nature be heard no more" (Science and Health, p. 355).

A great sense of love and gratitude went out to you. I occasionally see dimly what your life is and has been, and I do thank God for it.—for you.

Whether you get this or not will be decided by Truth. so I happily leave it there, and with love beg to remain.

Your humble follower,

Jessie Lumsden.
