These inquiries are coming from the "four quarters,"—For what purpose has Mrs. Eddy relinquished certain lines of labor in the field of Christian Science and called others to the work? Is she writing her history? or completing her works on the Scriptures? She is doing neither, but is taking a vacation, her first in twenty-five years. She is taking no direction of her own or others, but her desire is that God may permit her to continue to live apart from the world, free from the toil and turmoil in which her days have been passed for more than a quarter century.
She has no desire to write with the pen her own history. Those who know her best may write it after that God has written it with the diamond point of Truth.
The world is not ready for the translation of the Scriptures into the "new tongue." The old tongues are not sufficiently confounded for this; the babel is not yet complete. The confusion of old tongues must precede the diffusion of God's idea and the understanding of its Divine Principle and demonstration.
