Beloved Leader and Teacher:—The Directors have received the Peace flag which you so kindly sent to them to be held by The Mother Church for all the branch churches. They thank you for this memorable, beautiful flag, and for your loving words which accompanied it. They loyally accept the trust which you have reposed in them, and will keep the flag as a heritage of the Church. Your teachings have made all your true followers ardent disciples of peace, and thus you are recognized as a practical and consistent worker for the cause of universal brotherhood and for peace among nations.

Lovingly your students, The Christian Science Board of Directors.

William B. Johnson, Secretary.

Pleasant View, Concord, N. H.

Beloved Teacher:—It was a great privilege to lecture in the new auditorium of The Mother Church, that immense room being filled to its utmost capacity. I trust I have the grace to appreciate it all, but one feels himself to be small indeed under such circumstances, and can more easily understand the Master's saying, when referring to the merely human or mortal: "Of myself I can do nothing." Unguided and unsustained by the one Power, we could not do these things. I want to tell you of the kindly sayings of some ministers who have recently introduced me. One, a minister of the Christian denomination, said before the lecture, "Well, I have read your Christian Science text-book, and more or less of your other literature, and the only criticism I have to make is, 'If it isn't true it's a pity.'" After the lecture he said, "Well, the only criticism I have to make of your lecture is to emphasize my previous remark, 'If it isn't true it's a pity.'" A Methodist minister who introduced me, after the lecture grasped me warmly by the hand and said, "You didn't say a word I wouldn't have been only too glad to say if I had known how."

These are but examples of many other evidences of a great change on the part of the abler and broader clergymen. At a place in Maine I lectured in a Baptist church and was introduced by the pastor in a most liberal and kindly way. At the close of the lecture, the pastor called upon the Universalist minister, who was in the audience, to come forward and pronounce the benediction, and he did so in a most felicitous way.

Day before yesterday I had the pleasure of dining with the leading physician of a city near here. In the parlor and dining-room of his home hang photographs of you. Here also I saw the "little book" and our other literature. The doctor, though one of the most genial of men, spoke in terms of severe condemnation of the silly and malicious attacks upon you, at the same time expressing his high admiration for your Christianly treatment of your assailants. The doctor is not a retired physician, but in active practice, helping his fellow-beings as best he can in his way.

Knowing how delighted you are by such experiences, I have taken the liberty of mentioning these pleasant incidents, trusting I have not taken too much of your time. The better sentiment of the public is rapidly growing in respect for and appreciation of your great work. This is becoming daily more apparent.

In truth and love, your student,

Septimus J. Hanna.

Roxbury, Mass., May 1, 1907.

Beloved Teacher and Leader:—To me was accorded the honor of introducing Judge Hanna at the lecture in The Mother Church last evening. As usual the great auditorium was filled to overflowing, and I am sure the word spoken will bring forth fruit abundantly. I have never heard a more earnest appeal, or a more logical and convincing presentation of Scriptural authority for Christian healing. Those who were unfamiliar with Christian Science must have been deeply impressed with the manifest sincerity of the speaker as he "reasoned with them out of the scriptures." Those of us who know from experience the truth of your teachings, realized, as never before, how much we are indebted to you for your unceasing labor of love; and we returned to our homes with a clearer realization of the ever-presence of that God "who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases." If is our sincere desire that we may be found faithful servants of the Master, following our Leader only as he follows Christ.

Most sincerely an lovingly your student,

Willis F. Gross.

Beloved Leader:—The Christian Science Society of Harvard University wishes at this, its fourth annual meeting, to send to you a message of love, and to express to you its gratitude for the privilege of this organization. We recognize that these organizations, authorized by you through the Church Manual, are thereby incorporated as an integral part of the Christian Science movement. We appreciate the privilege and its responsibilites. Our opportunity for usefulness is large. As an embassy of Truth, the fellowship of this Society is strengthening to the active members, and to the graduate members the Society is a most valued tie to bind them to the university.

One of our Harvard professors recently spoke of certain buildings in Boston, the new Harvard Medical School, the public library, and the new Christian Science Temple, as representing three leading influences in modern thought, the scientific, the intellectual, and the advanced religious thought. As students of the arts and sciences of the first university of our land, we recognize that the Science of sciences is set forth in the text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," that example of original and masterful English prose composition of which you are the author, and that the Art of arts is to demonstrate this Science in daily living.

We appreciate the devotion of your life-purpose to the furtherance of the world's peace, significant as it stands in bold parallelism to the seventh spiritual precept of the Master, "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God."

In love and loyalty,

The Christian Science Society of Harvard University.

Pleasant View, Concord, N. H.

Beloved Leader:—I wish to express to you my gratitude for the good I have received from reading your wonderful book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," although my study has covered the period of one year only. With the little understanding I have I can appreciate deeply, dear Mrs. Eddy, your efforts for the good of mankind, and if those who speak so harshly and so unkindly of your great work might know and understand even a little of this great truth, they would see that it is in a spirit of thankfulness and not worship that we cling to you and your great work. My constant prayer shall be that I may know more of our God, who I now know is Love, and that your scroll, whereon is written the message of Love and freedom, may continue to unfold. May your labor have God's richest blessings.

Yours in love,

Mrs. M. D. Baldwin.

Ithaca, N. Y., March 31, 1907.

Our Beloved Leader:—It is with a sense of the deepest gratitude, that we, the members of First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Ithaca, N. Y., write you to-day, to assure you of the loving loyalty of our little band of workers. Your example of infinite patience and love, under the many persecutions which have arisen, only to beat harmlessly against the armor of your righteousness,—and destroy themselves,—has been to us as a "pillar of light." Our church is small, but most harmonious and faithful in following your teachings. Among our members are young men and women from Cornell University, who a year ago availed themselves of the privilege given by Art. XXVI., Section 13, of the Church Manual, and formed an Association for the spreading of the truth among the student body. They have recently given a lecture at the college, by Mr. Young, which was largely attended by representatives of the city and university. There is to be another given very soon under the auspices of our church.

To you, who have brought the truth to us in this age, we feel that we owe a debt of gratitude, which we can only repay by following humbly and lovingly in your footsteps.

Loyally and gratefully,

Laura C. Woodruff,
Mary Agnes Philes.
Committee for the Church.
