Boston, Mass., Aug. 27, 1908.

Dear and Revered Leader:—I cannot refrain, during my brief stay in Boston, from expressing sincere gratitude for the help which my family and myself have received from the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," which has led us into the "glorious liberty of the children of God." Nearly two years ago, my daughter, and afterwards my wife, were healed through Christian Science. This led me to the investigation of this Science. For many years I have been a minister of the Congregational Church in Australia. During that period, I have spent ten years in city mission work in the slums and opium dens of Melbourne, five years in the gold-mining camps, another five years in the Australian bush, or frontier work, and the rest of the time in a city church. I have ever tried to keep my thought open to the leadings of God's spirit, believing with Robinson of the Pilgrim Fathers, that "fresh light would yet break forth from God's holy Word," and looking for its appearing. I had become convinced that the works which Jesus did could be done to-day, if we could but find the way—the spiritual law by which he wrought. While searching for this way, I came across a copy of Science and Health. A very brief study of it convinced me that you had found it, and I rejoiced. Here in this precious book I found what I had prayed and longed for, and my problem of thirty years was solved.

After a careful study of over a year and a half, I felt I must take my stand for Truth; consequently I resigned my church in order to come to America to learn more of this scientific Christianity. In doing so, I shall have traveled twenty-six thousand miles, but what is this to the joy of knowing Life, Truth, and Love. I am now on my way back to that far-off land, to spread this "light of the knowledge of the glory of God," by healing the sick and reforming the sinner. I think I am correct in saving that I am the first and only clergyman who has come out for Christian Science in the Australian continent, but others will follow. Again thanking you as the means in God's hand for bringing such blessing to me, I remain

Yours in truth,
Rev. George Martin.

Beloved Leader:—I wish, in deep gratitude to God, to express my sincere love and devotion to you for what you have done and are doing for mankind. The last thirty years of my life have been devoted to the practice of materia medica; and I honestly thought that God sent sickness and used me as His instrument to cure it through medicines which He had placed here for that purpose. But my conception of God has undergone a change, brought about by the honest study of the "little book," "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," written by you. I was convinced, in a very short time after commencing its study, that it was the truth again brought to the world, and though I have studied it for five years, yet it was only last year that I made my demonstration out of materia medica.

Last August the voice of Truth came to me in these words: "Choose you this day whom ye will serve;" if God be God, serve Him; if materia medica be God, then serve it. That forever settled the matter. I came home and told my wife, who had preceded me by several years in Science, that I was through with medicine; that hereafter her God should be my God, and her people my people. How happy she was over the news! In November I was admitted to membership in The Mother Church, a privilege I greatly appreciate, and trust I may ever prove a faithful member. I had asked my wife if she would be willing for me to give up medicine and trust God for a living, and she had replied, "Yes, indeed!" So I am now giving all my time to trying to preach the gospel and heal the sick in the way which Jesus did and commanded his followers to do, and all our needs have been met. "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need" (Science and Health, p. 494). My wife unites with me in sending love to you.

Yours in truth and love,
C. H. Jones, M.D.

Beloved Leader:— The lectures in Australia were excellently provided for and managed by the churches in Sydney, Melbourne, and Ballarat. The largest available halls were secured, the attendance was very large, and the interest genuine and impressive. The newspapers reported the lectures with fairness and a reasonable degree of accuracy, and in Sydney and Melbourne the lecture was published in full in one of the leading morning papers of each place. The journey, together with the time necessary for the lectures, involves an absence from home of at least three months and, in the present instance, even a longer time, because, for many reasons, unnecessary to enumerate, I concluded to return by way of the Suez Canal and London and Liverpool. I arrived in New York this morning and expect to proceed on the final part of my journey to my home in Chicago within a few hours. Such a journey serves to impress one more and more with the wonderful blessing that has come to mankind through your discovery of Christian Science; and the prayer which heals, the pure and unselfish communion with good, is beginning to be understood and used in every clime.

The Christian Scientists in Australia are stanch and true. Their church organizations were founded upon the healing of the sick and sinful, and because that work goes on the churches are growing in numbers and influence.

With most respectful and loving regards, believe me faithfully yours. Bicknell Young.

Revered and Beloved Leader:—That Christian Science has healed many persons of many ills, I know to be a fact. It has also cured me. That the "little book" contains much wisdom is also a fact acknowledged by thousands of persons. For all the good you have done, for the healing, for the very opportune companionship and help of your priceless little volume, I am deeply and profoundly grateful. There is a thread of pure gold through it all. Believe me. 
Lovingly and sincerely yours,
Florence Barton Boyd.

Melbourne, Australia, July 1, 1908.

Beloved Leader:—Though it is your desire not to be burdened with material gifts, we feel that we may send you, by Mr. Bicknell Young, the first Christian Science lecturer to visit Melbourne, a small souvenir,—this love-thought from the land of the Southern Cross, "The Cross of Calvary, which binds human society into solemn union" (Science and Health, p. 575). We know that the most acceptable gift Christian Scientists can offer you is the fruit of righteousness, casting out error and healing the sick through Truth and Love; and we rejoice to think that we could gladden your heart by telling you of beautiful instances of healing here, through Christian Science, of withered limbs, club feet, consumption, cancer, and other so-called incurable diseases.

Mr. Young's lectures have already given a great impetus to Christian Science in this field; they have drawn the students closer together; given us all increased light. We realize even more clearly than before how you have been divinely directed in establishing the Board of Lectureship and all the other "stately operations of Christian Science" (Science and Health, p. 464). We are daily more grateful to you for unsealing the Bible to us, and for showing us the way to the kingdom of heaven.

Lovingly, three of your student's students,
Resident in Melbourne.

Manila, P. I., July 25, 1908.
Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy.

Beloved Leader:—My heart goes out to you in love and thanks, and I feel that I must write you to express my gratitude for the By-law concerning the Sunday School. It is to me the fulfilment of my heart's desire, as our two oldest girls had never had a chance to go to a Sunday School and would have been too old now according to the former law. Our little society here seems just ready for a Sunday School, and a student of your student, Dr. Fluno, is the teacher. Our society is slowly but steadily growing; healing is being done; and even here in Manila one notices the growth of Science in the different attitude of thought towards it. We all feel blest to have our Sunday services and Wednesday meetings in this far-away country, and we are daily reaping the benefits of your unceasing labor.

What Christian Science means to me personally I cannot express in words, but I am striving to have my life express in thought and action my gratitude to God, and to you, whose revelation and faithful stewardship have made it possible for me to say, "I know that my Redeemer liveth." The unity of the little Christian Science society here is a love-offering to God, and to you, our beloved Leader.

In loving obedience,
Magdalene Fleming.

Beloved Leader:—When one has been rescued from the grave and delivered from the depths of doubt and despair, gratitude involuntarily flows out to the one who has made this salvation possible. I am one of the many thousands who owe countless blessings to Christian Science; and to you, its Founder, I owe deepest gratitude.

Very sincerely yours,
Miss Eva Scrafford.

Boston, Mass., Sept. 3, 1908.

Beloved Leader and Teacher:—It is with a deep sense of gratitude to God that I thank you for the By-law, "Rule of Conduct," from our Church Manual, which has been hung upon the wall in every room of our new publishing house. Your loving and humble student,
Janet T. Colman.
