Letters & Conversations

FROM DR. EDDY

From the October 1896 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Dear Editor:— Permit me, through the Journal, to thank the "many friends" who gave me such a kindly good-bye and God-speed when I sailed away from them the last Saturday in August.

I was not expecting to see so many friends, to receive such a beautiful bouquet or witness so large a manifestation of love, which, for the time, seemed to incapacitate me for expressing myself in a manner I would have liked to.

In the envelope accompanying the bouquet were these words: "With much love from your many friends." Like the blending of the perfume of those beautiful flowers into a unity of sweetness, so may all our lives and work blend into one grand unity of purpose, fraternity, charity, love, that shall not be broken through the cycles of eternity. Will those friends please accept my sincere thanks for their beautiful gift of flowers and love, and may we all consciously, speedily sail out into the ocean of infinite Love, out of sight of sinful material sense and self, where all is harmony and Love reigns supreme. We all know to a certainty that if we embark on the ship, Christian Science, prepared by God through His faithful servant, our blessed Mother, and work our passage faithfully according to its chart, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by the Rev. Mary Baker Eddy, we shall surely reach the desired haven and become perfected in all good. May our united efforts help each other to accomplish all desired scientific results.
