Chicago, Ill., Nov. 17, 1909.
Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, Brookline, Mass.

Beloved Leader:—The committees in conference, representing the nine Christian Science churches in Chicago, recently met to consider ways and means of assisting The Christian Science Publishing Society in promoting the success of the special Thanksgiving edition of The Christian Science Monitor. Subsequently, on the recommendation of these committees, business meetings of the congregations of the several churches in Chicago were held, at which the many interesting and helpful features of the Monitor were discussed. These meetings will, we feel sure, result in a wide circulation of the Thanksgiving number of the Monitor and in an increase of regular subscriptions. The committees are now meeting for the purpose of recommending to the Christian Science churches in this field a plan for active cooperation in securing increased circulation for all of our periodicals and for placing these periodicals wherever they will be kindly received.

We wish at this time to extend to you, and to the faithful workers under you, our thanks for the Christian Science periodicals which you have provided for us, and which your assistants are so ably editing and publishing under your direction. We would like particularly to express our gratitude for the Monitor, which is faithfully fulfilling the purpose declared for it by you in the beginning, viz., "To injure no man, but to bless all mankind." Its clean world news, its special features, its thoughtful and constructive editorials, its educational Home Forum articles,—these are all bringing to its readers in every part of the world untold blessings. We await with expectant interest the splendid Thanksgiving edition which is being prepared as a souvenir of the Monitor's first anniversary.
