St. Joseph, Mo., March 9th, 1808.
Dear Journal:—I desire to tender my heartfelt thanks to our Mother for her magnificent gift to the Christian Science Publishing Society, which is only another expression of her love. What has she not given to the world? First, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." laying the foundation of the greatest reform that the world has ever seen, bringing health and happiness, and enabling us, step by step, to overcome the claims of hatred and opposition; then following this her other works, whose value cannot be estimated in elucidating a subject of such vital importance, opening to us the very gates of Paradise. Added to these are her bequests, both public and private, the fruits of long years of watchfulness, and toil, proving her to be one of the greatest humanitarians and benefactors of the age,—indeed a loving Mother. In contemplating her example we are incited to greater watchfulness and vigilance. May we, in some degree, be able to emulate her life, in obedience to and demonstration of the divine Principle that she has revealed. Sincerely yours in Truth,
