"MY DEAR DR. HUBER: I received your letter with Joy, and name
next Monday eveng as a time to give you for your enquiry into the
workings of Truth as it has come under my notice. Our field is a
broad one coverig several towns, and we have not lately had an
eveng free for discussin the subject coverig this sublime and
stately Science That leads into all Truth even to the solving of
the problem of Being. The healing of the sick is only the primary
steps this step however is an important one as its demonstration
with proof attests its divine origen even God--Good, its
principle source and ultimates in Eternal Life. For the Life is
in his Son and Divine Science reveals this son Even our own
Christ our spiritual Individuality God being our Father and
mother,
"Yrs. in Truth
"----."
The writer of this letter is the leader of that Christian-Science
church in New Jersey a member of which was a woman who died, in June
of this year, of consumption,[4] and this woman's "healer" was the
writer's wife. The woman who died left the Episcopalian Church and
became a Christian Scientist in January, 1899. In April she contracted
a heavy cold, to which she gave no attention. Her husband remonstrated
with her, and wished her to consult a physician, but she would not do
so. She declared she could not be ill, but that she was well and
happy. The services of her "healer" were the only ministrations she
received. In the beginning of June her condition was so bad that her
husband prevailed upon her to see a physician, who examined her and
found her hopelessly ill with consumption. Another physician examined
her and reached the same conclusion. She then turned "longingly and
earnestly to the religion in which she had been brought up." Two weeks
after, she died, "asking the prayers of her co-religionists in behalf
of herself, her husband, and her children."
