RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

Mary Baker Eddy

This article was later republished in The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany: My. 167:22-168:10

Box G, Brookline, Mass., April 12, 1909.
Christian Scientists in Concord, N. H.

Beloved Brethren:—Allow me to send forth a pean of praise for the noble disposal of the legislative question as to the infringement of rights and privileges guaranteed to you by the laws of my native state. The constituted religious rights in New Hampshire will, I trust, never be marred by the illegitimate claims of envy, jealousy, or persecution.

In our country the day of heathenism, illiberal views, or of an uncultivated understanding has passed. Freedom to worship God according to the dictates of enlightened conscience, and practical religion in agreement with the demand of our common Christ, the Holy One of Israel, are forever the privileges of the people of my dear old New Hampshire.

Lovingly yours,
Mary Baker Eddy.
