Belmont, Mass., Nov. 25, 1909.

Dear Leader:—I want to send you a token of recognition and grateful appreciation of your word that gave to us The Christian Science Monitor. Our Lesson-Sermon reaches a great multitude each week, but the Monitor reaches other thousands daily who do not attend our services and who are not direct followers of this teaching, and they are attracted to this paper because it is clean in its make-up, kindly in its sentiment, and wise and helpful in its counsel. It has been well described as printing all the news that is fit to read, and as an expression of every-day righteousness, and it has called forth favorable comment from the editors of other newspapers who, while having no leaning toward Christian Science, still have recognized that a new and welcome standard has been raised in the field of journalism. A good newspaper is a modern wonder, and in the rapidity of thought and action in present-day affairs and the unprecedented and unexplainable phases of error they present,—whatever is neither good nor true—the clear plain truth found in the Monitor becomes doubly welcome, and as the advance herald of a new and better order of things is certainly doing a grand work. I know that all this was foreseen by you.                  
In love,
James Otis Simonds.

Stick to your text, and you will stick to your newspaper, and text and paper will carry you onward and upward.
Mary Baker Eddy.
