In accordance with a long cherished intention, I hereby announce my retirement from active labors as teacher at the Mass. Metaphysical College. This institution will be supplied with competent teachers. I have already placed the Christian Science Journal in other hands, and resigned the pastorate of the Church of Christ (Scientist), Boston.
This change is made for two reasons: First, because my duties have accumulated to such a degree, and I believe my students should and can fill these positions themselves; Second, to fulfil other duties that demand both my attention and retirement.
I shall not have the pleasure of attending the convention of the National Christian Scientist Association this season. I desire that all my students be permitted to attend the convention. Let Love prevail. If this is done I will attend the next convention.
