Rev. Mary Baker Eddy,
Concord, N. H.
Dear Mother:—It was my great privilege last night to hear Mrs. Mims deliver her lecture on Christian Science in Atlanta.
I feel that some one should write you of the success of this lecture, and so take the liberty myself, being one of your students whom I hope you will remember. It has always been a great pleasure to me that I went to see you with Mrs. Mims to introduce her to you. She has labored so lovingly and unceasingly to establish Truth in this section of our country, where it seemed perhaps one of the most difficult of all fields to awaken slumbering thought. The audience last night proved that her labors have not been in vain. About six hundred were present, and all seemed to listen with great attention. Her lecture is clear and able in its simplicity, her subject being, "Christian Science: is it Christian; is it Science?" Every unprejudiced mind could easily understand her reasoning. The delivery was perfect, every word having its proper emphasis, and the sweet, clear voice easily reaching every ear.
