LETTER FROM MRS. EDDY

Mary Baker G. Eddy

A letter in this this article was later republished in The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany: My. 140:10-30

In a letter addressed to Christian Scientists Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy explains that dropping the annual Communion service of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, need not debar distant members from attending occasionally The Mother Church. The following is Mrs. Eddy's letter:—

June 21, 1908.

Beloved Christian Scientists:—Take courage. God is leading you onward and upward. Relinquishing a material form of Communion advances it spiritually. The material form is a "Suffer it to be so now" and is abandoned so soon as God's Wayshower, Christ, points the advanced step. This instructs us how to be abased and how to abound. Dropping the Communion of The Mother Church does not prevent its distant members from occasionally attending this church.

Mary Baker G. Eddy.
