Beloved Students:
I am glad to learn that the officers of the National Christian Scientist Association have thought it wise to further postpone this Convention. At your last meeting my proposition for a long adjournment was to give space for riper lessons, and heart and substance to your next convention. You have no impulse to dart upward on weary wing, to let ambition propel your purpose, or pride to make its throne a scaffold. I feel quite sure you will harmonize with the above decision of your officers.
The circumstances seem not ready for the occasion. Along the lines of our faithful ranks we still hear some sharp-shooting, as if all were not yet done with war. A short halt will give opportunity to finish all work on hand. May you next meet thoroughly equipped for continual service.
