I hereby state publicly and positively, that until I advertise through these pages, or send special requests to individuals to the contrary of this statement, I shall not receive a call from any one, nor read letters, MSS. etc., which I have not myself first solicited. I advertise this, after waiting over two years for sufficient time of my own to arrange my writing desk, and while having on hand packages of sermons, with request that I examine them, other people's correspondence to read, heaps of MSS. sent for approval, pyramids of letters requiring immediate answers, tired columns of applicants to call on me, business letters' innumerable etc.
My work for the Mother Church is done; and be it remembered that five years ago I came to Concord, N. H. for the purpose of retirement.
If I know myself this is my sole desire— that all whom I have taught Christian Science, and all its teachers and its students, by whomsoever taught, yea, that all mankind, shall have one Shepherd, and He shall gather them into his fold, (unto Himself) Divine Love. May 3d, 1894.
