Beloved Leader and Friend:—Having just completed a series of lectures, I wish to report to you what gives reason for encouragement, in that there is much growth in the churches towards recognition of the rule of law. In many the era of government by personal domination is over, and with the coming of obedience to law, has come peace and real efficiency. With great joy I learned of cases where after a separate existence a once dissatisfied minority had dissolved its organization and become again identified with the branch church first established in the community. If contentions prevent our neighbors from recognizing the good part, these harmonizations are effectual in proving to them that when in our right mind as to Christian Science we obey Love as law.

Hardly a day passes but my heart indites a letter of love and thankfulness to you because of your example; but I do not intrude upon your time—rather endeavor to ease the burden of your labor, if it may be, by following the leading of your demonstration and holy living. It is your example which leads us, and it is your proving of the truth which brings to judgment those who are faithless and insincere. In this last outburst of that which "loveth and maketh a lie" the ancient promise to Israel was fulfilled, "Thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee." The power of the liar lasts only so long as he can deceive, but less and less does that power prevail, for press and people are coming to know and love the beautiful truth, and to loathe falsity; and the genuine, deep, and tender love and appreciation which your life and character have won everywhere among thinking people indicates a growth of human consciousness up towards the standards you have set.

With tender affection and friendship,
Yours faithfully,

William P. McKenzie.

Dearly Beloved Leader:—Permit us on behalf of the December, 1906, Normal Class of The Massachusetts Metaphysical College, now in session, to send you this brief message of love and gratitude. Coming from nearly every quarter of the earth, witnesses of the world-wide growth of our Cause, we unite in thanks to God for Christian Science and for you His Revelator. Our Lessons have unfolded to us still more of the wonderful spiritual teaching of our text-book, Science and Health, and have impressed us with the necessity of adhering strictly to its statements in our teaching and practice. As a result of your teaching we have been brought up out of great tribulation, out of disease and sin, and sorrow and suffering,—and words fail to express what our hearts would indite of gratitude and love when we remember all these things. We thank you for your tender, patient love and care during our first feeble footsteps in this new-old Christ-way, and for all your rebukes, messages, and admonitions. We love you for all you are to humanity, for your unfailing faithfulness in pointing the world to Christ, and for your exemplification of love "still remaining love." though "meeting no response" (Science and Health, p. 586). May we assure you of our continued loyalty and unshaken confidence in your wise leadership of our great Cause, and express the hope that we do not fall asleep in the hour of tribulation.

With sincerest love, honor, and gratitude,

Our Dear Leader:—Although I have never had the opportunity of seeing you when in Boston. I cannot refrain longer from expressing the love and gratitude I feel toward you our Leader—Leader to all who are humbly learning of the Christ in Christian Science.

The words of Mr. Strang in the Christian Science Sentinel of April 28, so often come before me, "No one on earth to-day, aside from Mrs. Eddy, knows anything about Christian Science except as he has learned it from her and from her writings." I owe all to Christian Science and I cannot delay longer in thanking the one through whom it has come. The way in Science may seem rugged, but I am learning that it alone leads to God. I am a member of the uptown New York church, and I feel that I have regained my heritage, which is freedom; that after all nothing can come between me and Principle,—Truth and Love.

Thanking you if you can spare time to read these few words of deep gratitude, I am

Lovingly your follower in truth,
Mrs. Blanche Virginia Wilson.

Jonesville, Mich., Nov. 29, 1906.

Beloved Leader:—May I take a moment of your precious time to tell you my heart is full of loving gratitude to-day to divine Love, and to you for all you have done and are doing for me and for the whole world? We, in this little branch of the true Vine,—your dear church in Boston,—have held our Thanksgiving service, inspired by a deeper sense of gratitude than ever before for the blessings that are ours to-day through your beautiful life and example of loving patience and forgiveness. God bless you to-day, dear Leader, with His richest rewards. The New York Independent reached me this morning, and I have just read your sweet words in "Harvest," and may I be pardoned if a sense of pride and gratitude arises in my heart that your dear old Congregational church in Concord was also my first church home? Truly "thy people shall be my people;" the erect form of our dear pastor, Rev. Dr. Bouton, is ever a very vivid picture in my "memories hall." I am exceedingly happy to-day in the consciousness of the nearness of divine Love and in my unity with God, the all-good, as you have taught as in the dear "little book," Science and Health; also that I am a Christian Scientist.

One of your followers up the hill of Zion, as you are a followers of Christ,
Gratefully and lovingly,
Violetta M. Doane.

Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy,

Pleasant View, Concord, N. H.

Beloved Leader and Teacher:—Divine Love enables me to-day to send you the balance which has for so many years remained unpaid for my tuition in The Massachusetts Metaphysical College. Owing to the always pressing need of funds for our work in my field of labor, that there should not be retrogression from posts won, I have given the very widest interpretation to your kind message relative to terms of payment, sent me by Miss Bartlett before I entered the class. The legal debt I can to-day cancel. The debt of love and gratitude due you, dear Leader, grows larger with each passing day. Dearest of all, may the assurance that the very humblest of your students is striving at this hour to realize more deeply the import of your lifelong sacrifice for humanity, that she may thereby more understandingly aid in establishing in the world's consciousness the true conception of this life-work, necessary for its uplifting and redemption, add even a little to your heart's comfort.

May God's love shelter you, sustain you, uphold you, as only Love shields, sustains, and upholds.

Lovingly and gratefully your student,
Lucretia Annie Veazey.
