[We are glad to give a word of commendation to the following letter, which so aptly expresses appreciation of our Leader's great work and its bearing upon the lives of men.—EDITOR.]

San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 12, 1909. Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, Brookline, Mass.

Beloved Leader:—The assistant committees on publication, the Readers, boards of directors, and committees on the distribution of literature of the various churches, and the practitioners whose names are in The Christian Science Journal for the northern half of California, being assembled in San Francisco for the purpose of meeting with Willard S. Mattox, your associate manager of committees on publication, desire to avail ourselves of this gathering to express to you our deep love and appreciation of your untold and ceaseless labors for mankind. It will rejoice you to know that here on the Pacific coast, as elsewhere, Christian Science is growing surely and steadily in the affections of the people. It is growing because your discovery and loving life have brought to the understanding of human consciousness the eternal fact that matter, with all its accompaniments of sin, disease, and death, is but a false belief and has no genuine foundation, and that God and His idea are the only realities. How can we thank you for this glorious truth except in reformed lives. We realize that Christlike works alone can repay our measure of debt, and we resolve to consecrate ourselves more earnestly to this service. We are most grateful for the meeting this afternoon; it has been in every way helpful and instructive, and will aid us all to do more active and intelligent work.
