Extracts from Letters

"Having counted my Sentinels this morning I find my time is out. Can't begin to tell how much it has been worth to me for the three months I have had it. I can almost believe this is the religion I have been searching for all my life. I wish there were a church here. I want to know more of this religion."

"I am inclosing herewith express money order for two dollars, to be applied to the War Relief and Camp Welfare fund. Am sending this amount as an expression of gratitude for the inestimable blessings I have experienced through the ministry of Christian Science before and since being drafted into the army of freedom."

"I have not sufficient words nor do I know how to express my gratitude and that of my parents for the beautiful charity given us through the War Relief committee. Your help was not only financial but also moral, freeing us of a continual anguish, not knowing how to provide for the rent. The continual weeping of my mother is changed to tears of joy and she remembers you and the other good people for all the good you have procured her. Such will be also the joy of my brother at the front when he receives the news that his old ones (as he calls them) are helped by such good people! I think that his burden will be greatly lightened, as he was so worried on account of the condition of his family."
