Letters & Conversations

EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS TO OUR TEACHER

From the June 1889 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Last September I enjoyed the blessed privilege of attending your Primary Class, and cannot begin to tell you what the six months that followed have been to me. Words express so little! With every day's experience, and each new trial, I feel a deeper gratitude and love towards you, who so faithfully show all students, who truly desire to know it, the way to walk in the Christ-life. However feeble our first steps, we know that they will grow firmer and more firm, if, we but push forward with earnest desire, each day to be lead more entirely by the Divine Mind.

Miss C. has formed an association for her students, which is in splendid working order. She has also opened a reading-room where true Christian Science literature is kept in good quantities. Connected with this is a dispensary, where patients are treated, without greater charge than their circumstances permit them to meet readily.

That the enemy appeareth to be here, you of course know, without my saying. For the standard of Truth is never raised that error does not flaunt its banner. But Miss C. and I both know that "Strength cometh from the Lord, who made heaven and earth," and if we put our trust in Him we cannot be overcome. We are striving each day to work more faithfully, and "Working and praying, with true motives on your part, your Father will open the Way." Bless you for those words! They have brought us such comfort again and again!
