My Beloved Christian Scientists:— Please send in your contributions as usual to our Journal. All is well at headquarters and when the mist shall melt away you will see clearly the glory of the heaven of love within your own hearts. Let this sign of peace and harmony be supreme and forever yours.
I proposed to merge the adjourned meeting in the one held at Chicago, simply because I see no advantage and great disadvantage in one student's opinions or modus operandi becoming the basis for others; read Retrospection on this subject. Science is absolute and best understood through the study of my works and a daily Christian demonstration. It is their materiality that clogs the student's progress, and "this kind goeth not forth but by prayer and fasting." It is materialism through which the animal magnetizer preys and becomes a prey. Spirituality is the basis of all true volition. Assembling themselves together, and listening to each other amicably, or contentiously, I have seen, is no aid to the student in acquiring solid Christian Science. Experience, and above all obedience, are the tests of growth and understanding in Science.
