in behalf of a suffering race, they would contribute oftener [1] to the pages of this swift vehicle of scientific thought; for it reaches a vast number of earnest readers, and seek- ers after Truth. With love, MARY BAKER EDDY To Students _Beloved Christian Scientists_:—Please send in your contributions as usual to our _Journal_. All is well at head- quarters, and when the mist shall melt away you will see clearly the signs of Truth and the heaven of Love within [10] your hearts. Let the reign of peace and harmony be supreme and forever yours. I proposed to merge the adjourned meeting in the one held at Chicago, because I saw no advantage, but great disadvantage, in one student’s opinions or _modus oper-_ [15] _andi_ becoming the basis for others: read “Retrospection” on this subject. Science is absolute, and best under- stood through the study of my works and the daily Chris- tian demonstration thereof. It is their _materiality_ that clogs the progress of students, and “this kind goeth not [20] forth but by prayer and fasting.” It is materialism through which the animal magnetizer preys, and in turn becomes a prey. Spirituality is the basis of all true thought and volition. Assembling themselves together, and listening to each other amicably, or contentiously, is no aid to [25] students in acquiring solid Christian Science. Experi- ence and, above all, _obedience_, are the aids and tests of growth and understanding in this direction. With love, MARY B. G. EDDY [30] [Page 157.] To A Student _My Dear Student_:—It is a great thing to be found worthy to suffer for Christ, Truth. Paul said, “If we suffer, we shall also reign with him.” Reign then, my beloved in the Lord. He that marketh the sparrow’s fall [5] will direct thy way. I have written, or caused my secretary to write, to Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, of Toronto, Canada (you will find their card in _The C. S. Journal_,) that you or your lawyer will ask them all questions important for your case, and re- [10] quested that they furnish all information possible. They will be glad to help you. Every true Christian Scientist will feel “as bound with you,” but as free in Truth and Love, safe under the shadow of His wing. Yes, my student, my Father is your Father; and He [15] helps us most when help is most needed, for He is the ever-present help. I am glad that you are in good cheer. I enclose you the name of Mr. E. A. Kimball, C. S. D., of Chicago,— 5020 Woodlawn Ave.,—for items relative to Mrs. Steb- [20] bin’s case. “Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass. And He shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.” This I know, for God is for us. [25] Write me when you need me. Error has no power but to destroy itself. It _cannot harm you_; it cannot stop the eternal currents of Truth. Ever with love, MARY B. G. EDDY [Page 158.] To A Student
