Dear Mrs. Eddy: Since I saw you I have learned, through personal experience,—not that experience counts anything in Christian Science,—that a false claim, in the most subtle form, decided the question of study for me; and I can now understand how, if it were possible, Satan might deceive "the very elect." Thanks be to God who giveth us the victory. I am now ready to prepare myself to enter upon a work which I already know to be true; but, like a child, I want to come to you and be thoroughly dispossessed of all my toys (or childish ways) that I may be "strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might," to go before a "disobedient and gainsaying people," a living epistle of a Gospel of Love, "for which cause came I unto this hour."
Always gratefully,
9 Warren Street, Roxbury.
