A LETTER FROM MRS. EDDY

Mary Baker Eddy

This letter was later republished in The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany: My. 359:16-360:6

In our issue of July 31, 1909, there appeared under the heading "None good but one," a number of quotations from a composite letter, dated July 10, which had been written to Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson by twenty-four of her students who then occupied offices in the building of First Church of Christ, Scientist, of New York, and were known as "the practitioners." This letter was forwarded to Mrs. Eddy by Mrs. Stetson with the latter's unqualified approval. Upon receipt of this letter Mrs. Eddy wrote to Mrs. Stetson as follows:—

Brookline, Mass., July 23, 1909

My Dear Student:— Awake and arise from this temptation produced by animal magnetism upon yourself, allowing your students to deify you and me. Treat yourself for it and get your students to help you rise out of it. It will be your destruction if you do not do this. Answer this letter immediately.

As ever, lovingly your teacher,
Mary Baker Eddy.
