A LETTER BY MRS. EDDY

Mary Baker Eddy

This letter was later republished in The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany: My. 357:26-358:28

Box G, Brookline, Mass., July 12, 1909.
Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson, New York City.

Beloved Student:—I have just finished reading your interesting letter. I thank you for acknowledging me as your Leader, and I know that every true follower of Christian Science abides by the definite rules which demonstrate the true following of their Leader; therefore, if you are sincere in your protestations and are doing as you say you are, you will be blessed in your obedience.

The Scriptures say, "Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation." You are aware that animal magnetism is the opposite of divine Science, and that this opponent is the means whereby the conflict against Truth is engendered and developed. Beloved! you need to watch and pray that the enemy of good cannot separate you from your Leader and best earthly friend.
