LETTER TO A STUDENT

From the April 1895 issue of The Christian Science Journal

This article was later republished in Miscellaneous Writings 1883-1896: Mis. 158:1-159:9


The following is a copy of a letter recently written by Mrs. Eddy to a student:—

Pleasant View, Concord, N. H., March 18, 1895.

My beloved Student:— In reply to your letter will say, God's ways are not as our ways: but higher far than the Heavens above the earth is His wisdom above ours. When I requested you to be ordained I little thought of the changes about to be made. When I insisted on your speaking without notes, I little knew that so soon another change in your pulpit would be demanded. But now after His messenger has obeyed the message of divine Love, then came the interpretation thereof. But you see we both had first to obey and to do this through faith not sight.
