Extracts from letters to Mary B. G. Eddy
Beloved Teacher:— When at the close of your class, held in September, 1888, I expressed a hope that I might prove my gratitude to you by my faithfulness to your teachings, you replied, "You will never be anything but faithful." The words seemed to me then a benediction,— and O, the blessing they have been to me in the months and years since then!
Jesus' words to Peter could not have had more sustaining power, when he said: "Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not."
