Hutchinson, Kan.

Dear Mrs. Eddy:—I go to the Christian Science Sunday School, and I think it is lovely—the talking about Love, Truth, and Life. I have not been sick once since I have been in Christian Science. We are going to build a new church. I thought I would write you a few lines.

Your little Christian Science girl,
Margaret Waddles.

Mrs. Eddy's Reply.

God bless my little Christian Science girl, as He does all good girls.

Lovingly,
Mary Baker Eddy.

Beloved Teacher and Leader:—I wish to express my deep appreciation of the recent changes in the titles of two chapters in Science and Health, namely, the fourth chapter, which is now entitled "Christian Science vs. Spiritualism," and the fifth, "Animal Magnetism Unmasked." These changes are not only of importance to inquirers, in setting forth more clearly the topics discussed in the chapters named, but to older students they indicate the widening of the gulf between the real and the unreal, the false and the true.

With thanks and loving gratitude,
Your student,
Annie M. Knott.

Dearest Leader:—It is impossible for me to say what joy your endorsement of my letter in the Coventry Herald has given me. This is only an attempt to thank you, and to say that I will try to prove my love for you, and my gratitude to you, for all you have taught me, by living so as to be able to do better work for the Cause, every day.

Your loving follower,
Frederick Dixon.

Dear Mrs. Eddy:—We enclose a copy of a letter recently received by this church. We feel that you will be pleased to note the spirit of love and good will which animates the churches in Chicago and which is manifested in this letter. With a consciousness of unbounded obligation for your wise and loving leadership, and with deepest gratitude for the blessings of Christian Science which we, in common with all who accept your teachings, may share in proportion to our loyalty and obedience, we are, dearest Leader,

Yours most sincerely,
Board of Directors, Sixth Church of Christ. Scientist, Chicago,

Board of Directors, Sixth Church of Christ,Scientist, of Chicago.

Dear Friends:—At a special business meeting of the members of Seventh Church, held Wednesday, April 13, 1910, it was unanimously voted that the surplus in our building fund, amounting to seven hundred and nineteen dollars, be sent at once as a contribution to the building fund of Sixth Church, and we take great pleasure in enclosing a check for that amount. This is but a forerunner of what is still to come as progress is made in your plans for building. Our love goes out to the members and congregation of Sixth Church for the Christian and loving spirit which they have manifested, not only to Seventh Church, but to the Cause at large.

Sincerely yours,
Board of Directors, Seventh Church of Christ, Scientist, Chicago,
P. P. Cahana, Clerk.

Boston, Mass., April 21, 1910.

Dear Mrs. Eddy:—For almost three years I have made my offering daily, hourly, that you might have in your home one who loves you and whose joy it is to be one of your helpers. It has lightened my way through darkest hours to remember that you were being cared for, and that through this privilege one of God's dear ones was learning more of the divine order and consciousness. Now it comes like a benediction to me, as I feel it must to the happy group of Christian Scientists in your home, to know it from your own word in the "Pean of Praise," in tonight's Monitor, that "Mrs. Eddy is happier because of them" and is conscious that "God is glorified in His reflection of peace, love, joy"—right there. "Who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh rightousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart."

I have reason to be grateful and to be comforted, and I thank you for this message. As far as I know my own heart, my desire is to awake from the dream of matter and come into "the privilege of knowing God, the liberty and glory of His presence." There are thousands upon thousands of names on the list of people whose subscriptions to our periodicals are my special care, and I often look at them as a whole and try to realize the greatness of the work that is going on. It means that every one of the people has been touched by Christian Science, and in some measure knows Truth and Life and Love. It may be slowly, but it certainly is true, that mankind is awakening to "their present ownership of all good and praise, and love the spot where God dwells most conspicuously in His reflection of love and leadership." We see this in the stream of messages that flows daily into the publishing house; we hear it in the earnest, convincing testimonies of every Wednesday night meeting; we are conscious of it in every demonstration of the divine power of Christian Science, which enables us to cast evil out of ourselves, to heal the sick and reform the sinner.

With much love,
Effie J. Fletcher.

Beloved Leader:—The teachers and officers in the Sunday School of Second Church of Christ, Scientist, Kansas City, Mo., send you loving greetings for your provision for the instruction of the Sabbath School children. We appreciate and are grateful for the privilege of being channels for the instruction of the lambs of the flock. Guided by divine Principle, the understanding of which we have been able to glean from our text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and for which we are indebted to you as its author, we are sowing the seeds of truth in the thoughts of these little ones; as a result of which we are prone to exclaim with you (Pulpit and Press, p. 9): "Ah, children, you are the bulwarks of freedom, the cement of society, the hope of our race!"

Good progress has been made in this work, both in the increase in numbers and in spiritual development. We know it would gladden your heart, and you would rejoice with us, to hear the little ones sing your hymns, the privilege of which is granted to them at the opening of every session, and you would also be pleased to learn of the love, gratitude, reverence, and respect they have for you, for what you are doing for them and humanity. We appreciate the privilege of having even a small part in aiding you in the establishment of the kingdom of heaven on earth, "till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ."

Lovingly and faithfully your followers,
J. W. Wilson, Superintendent.

Revered Leader:—A new glimpse of the meaning of that wonderful statement in our text-book (p. 266), "Universal Love is the divine way in Christian Science," dawned upon us recently through our perception of the loving care and provision for the needs of its younger and less stable branches that led the Board of Directors of our Mother Church to send one of their strong helpers on a mission of helpfulness to these European fields. Through his wise, opportune, and practical suggestions, this dear Scientist has helped us greatly and strengthened the links that bind us to you and to our Science home in Boston.

In token of our gratitude for these blessings, we are sending to Mr. Chase for enlargement of the publishing house, a check representing the sum that was to have been spent on a spring lecture, knowing that Love will refill our coffers in time for an autumn lecture. No wide distribution of The Christian Science Monitor seeming possible at present in this country, the Scientists here desire to show their recognition of the missionary value to the world of this messenger of purity and peace, by furthering its issue in Boston.

Yours in loving gratitude,
Christian Science Society, Frankfurt a/Main,
By the Committee.

The newly organized Christian Science Society of Dresden-Neustadt, at the inauguration of its church home, desires to send its beloved Leader assurance of heartfelt gratitude and unswerving loyalty, and devotion to her inspiring leadership.

New York, N. Y., May 3, 1910.

Beloved Leader:—Your "Pean of Praise" gave forth such a breath of heavenly inspiration that out of a full heart I must thank you for it. It seems like a song that we should repeat in chorus, till earth echoes the tones of truth and love. Appreciation of daily blessings received through your inspired writings cannot be expressed in words, but honest effort to follow in the footsteps of Christ, Truth, as revealed by you, may in time prove the heart's deep gratitude.

Lovingly Yours,
Ethelinda Dietz.

Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy.

Dear Leader:—Today we held the first service in our beautiful little church, which is the first Christian Science church built in our state. As we have a membership of less than fifty, and all are poor in the eyes of the world, we realize that this church is indeed a "structure of Truth and Love" (Science and Health, p. 583). In the midst of our rejoicing our hearts are turned in deepest gratitude to you, for the wonderful lessons you have taught us, for the blessed example you have set before us.

Christian Science Society of Monticello, Ark.
