Atlanta, Ga., March 11, 1907.

Beloved Leader and Teacher:—Sunday morning I had such an uplifted sense of the splendor of your present position, of the moral courage that inspires and sustains you, that it gave me the very baptismal of Spirit. I saw how it paled all other heroism, in standing for human rights. I saw you on the Rock,—the spiritual sense of man as the Son of God,—and for that divine inheritance you are holding aloft the banner of Life—harmony and immortality. Below you were the impotent seeming forces of the loosened occultism of the human mind, that has ever tried to drown the spiritual idea, but "the Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea." About you was the cloud of witnesses, chanting hymns of praise and gratitude for blessings received; around encamped the heavenly hosts, the angels of His presence; arching the radiance above you was the rainbow of promise—speedy deliverance from the seeming powers of evil. I beheld "the Lion of the tribe of Judah,"—the moral courage that stands high and firm for the spiritual freedom and divine heritage of man. I saw, as never before, the woman, and the earth helping the woman. Our Cause is prosperous beyond anything; the demands for your books and our literature are great. The human mind is stirred and interested as never before. This seems to me the most marvelous hour of history; God is with you, and our grateful and loving hearts bless you every moment. In tenderest love, your devoted student,
Sue Mims.

Boston, Mass., March 12, 1907. Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, Concord, N. H.
