While acknowledging gratefully the public confidence, manifested in daily letters that protest against receiving instruction in the Massachusetts Metaphysical College from any other than Mrs. Eddy, I feel deeply that it imposes on me, of necessity, the severe task of remaining at present a public servant. Also, that this must prevent my classes from forming as frequently as was announced in the October number of this Journal, and the necessity of receiving but a select number of students. To meet the old impediment, lack of time, that has occasioned the irregular intervals between my class-terms, I shall continue to send to each applicant a notice of from one to two weeks of the opening Term.
