LETTERS TO OUR LEADER

with contributions from Helen C. Montgomery, J. S. Eastaman, Eunice Vary, Jennie M. Cooley, George F. Campbell, John M. Henderson, Margaret Crane, Imogene Weatherbee

Council Bluffs, Ia., March 22, 1909.

Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy.

Beloved Leader:—Many, many times have I wished to write to you, but resisted the impulse to do so. However, since reading "The Life of Mary Baker Eddy" by Sibyl Wilbur, I have felt strongly impelled at least to express myself on paper. It is only very recently that I have read this wonderfully interesting book, as fascinating as any story ever was in my novel-reading days, and I stand in awe before the revelation it gives of character—the divine reflected in the human, the divine revealed through the human. It has magnified a thousandfold my own conception of the work you have done for the world through your wonderful book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." A key indeed it is, even for those who like myself had been for years an earnest student and teacher of the Bible. When reading of your struggles, of the persecution which you endured "for righteousness sake," all that I have suffered sinks into insignificance, and I feel I could bear for the sake of the truth a thousand times more than I have ever yet borne.
