Boston, Mass., March 9, 1908.

Dear Teacher:—You remember that a few years ago critics affirmed that your first husband, George W. Glover, was not entitled to be called Colonel, and that some of the North Carolina students claimed to have discovered that he could properly be called Major but not Colonel. During the past winter I took up that question again, and I have learned, upon good authority, that Mr. Glover's position as a member of the governor's staff made him a member of the staff militia, the governor of the State being commander-in-chief of the State militia, and that it was a custom all over the South to apply the title "Colonel" to one who had occupied that position. Thus you may note that you were correct in referring to your husband as Colonel George W. Glover, and in saying that he was sometimes called Colonel and at other times called Captain.

Your loving student,
Alfred Farlow.

My Dear Mrs. Eddy:—Some years ago an Iowa lady came to California, believing there was nothing for her but to suffer until the end. She found Christian Science, and perfect health was the result. She made her home in this university town of ours, planted the seed, and faithfully tended it. Many times she hoped that in our great State university this blessed truth might shed its light. After a few years there also came from Iowa a Christian Scientist student; then came other students who were interested in this Cause. Last year there was organized, at an informal meeting of about sixteen students, the Christian Science Society in the University of California. Meetings are held on the first Friday of each month, are well attended, and the society has enjoyed a steady, normal, sturdy growth. To-day we are expressing our gratitude for the many blessings received through the understanding of Christian Science by sending fifty dollars to the fund for the new building of the Christian Science Publishing Society. We are grateful, and each day try to attest our gratitude in our work and in our lives.

Yours obediently,

Jerita V. Blair, Ira F. Thompson, Emma Alice Kreutzer, Committee.

Beloved Leader:—I want to express my deep gratitude for the privilege of being in your new home, both for myself and Mr. Burt, and especially of the great uplifting I have felt in my late experience.

With deep love,

Monroe, Mich., March 13, 1908.

Dear Mrs. Eddy:—For a long time I have wanted to express a word to you of my growing appreciation of all the good that has come to me through a "contemplative reading" of all your works during these nine years of my earnest study of Christian Science. They have been the best years of my life; they have been filled with efforts at self-renovation, and the mental conflicts have been many; but I am now rejoicing in a growing understanding and appreciation of your purity of vision and loyalty to the truth displayed through all the trying experiences of these many years, and I am often strengthened by your example of loving service. I cannot adequately express my gratitude for the help received from our Christian Science Quarterly, Journal, Sentinel, and lectures.

Truly words alone fail to express what your work has done for me in the way of changing my thought about God and my relation to Him and to my neighbor.

With much love, from a student of one of your students,

Katharine V. Ilgenfritz.

My Dearest Friend:—My heart has yearned to write to you now for eighteen years, and tell you, my beloved friend and teacher, what your teaching has been to me. It has changed me from gross infidelism and given me the true idea of a God at hand. Not only has it given me the true idea of God, it has taught me to read, write, and spell. I did not know where Genesis or Revelation was in my Bible, nor did I know what the words meant after I had spelled them out. God and the Bible, and your beloved book, Science and Health, have been my only teachers, and I can assure you I am most thankful for their help. I have longed to see you, and I shall know you if I am ever privileged to see you, as I dreamed I saw you and you had in your right hand a long, straight pointer, and as you looked at me you said in firm, sweet tones, "Neither to the right nor to the left, but straight to Principle;" and then you vanished, but those words have been a guide to me. Now I want to let you know I have not taken one drop of medicine in these eighteen years, and my heart has often said, God bless you. I cannot be thankful enough to you for all that your teaching has done for me. Before I knew of this truth our doctor's bills were more than our grocery bills.

I hope I have not intruded on your precious time. I want to say again, God bless you. My dearest friend, I have only one desire, and that is to do as your inspiring book has taught me.—Mrs. Mary Geimmett.

Chicago, Ill., March 8, 1908.

Dear Mrs. Eddy:—May I send just a few words of love and gratitude to you? I am truly thankful for the protection found on page 442, line 30, in edition of Science and Health which was issued Feb. 29, and especially for your thoughtfulness in calling our attention to it. I am studying in connection with this, page 458, lines 23 to 30, and this seems to give me a clearer conception of what it really means "to be a law" unto myself and to understand better the divine law, so that I may more readily protect not only myself but others from mental malpractice.

Sincerely and faithfully,
Fannie Bogardus Hunt.

Toledo, O., March II, 1908.

Dearly Beloved Leader:—Permit me to express a little of the great joy which the new By-law for the Sunday Schools has given to all of us. In a measure we can see how you are leading us onward to better things; you are planning for the future growth had establishment on imperishable foundations of your discovery,—Christian Science,—and you are seeing and planning far ahead of our present understanding. At last I am enabled to take the steps so long desired, and devote all of my time to the work as a practitioner, depending on Principle for my support, even here in Ohio, where the law does not permit us to charge fees. God will provide, I am sure. I have given up nothing compared with your lifelong sacrifices, and I only long to learn more, that I may be able to heal the sick "quickly and wholly," as you have requested us.

With my most devoted love,
Mrs. Fannie L. Bonner.

Dear Leader:—It is with a heart full of love and gratitude that I am prompted to write you at this time in regard to Christian Science and what it has done for me. God's Word has always been very dear to me, but prior to a study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" its spiritual meaning was not clear, at all times. I am truly grateful that we have such a text-book. It is such a wonderful interpretation of the Bible, and by it the world is blessed. Christian Science has proven a help to me in thousands of ways. It has taught me the true and right way of living, and of demonstrating God's allness. It is a present help in time of need. The more I study it the plainer become its truths, the purer my love. To you, dear Leader, we are all very grateful for this understanding of the Bible, and for your boundless love for humanity.

Very sincerely yours,
Katherine C. Baker.

Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, Brookline, Mass.

Beloved Leader:—The truth revealed to us by your wonderful book, "Science and Health with key to the Scriptures," calls for great gratitude from your humble follower. He has been a student of the text-book for some years, and the study has been and is, a great blessing to him. He finds it a source of inspiration, and from it has grown a more earnest desire to know God aright, and to bring this knowing into practical demonstration, into every moment of life, lived according to its teachings.

My heart is full of gratitude to God, and to you as the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, for what this redemptive truth is accomplishig, and I know that what it is doing for me, it will do for all mankind.

Sincerely yours,
Charles Albion Clark.
