First Church of Christ, Scientist, St. Louis, Mo.
My Beloved Brethren:—The good in being, even the spiritually indispensable, is your daily bread—work and pray for it. The poor toil for our bread, and we should work for their health and holiness. Over the glaciers of winter the summer glows. The beauty of holiness comes from the departure of sin. Enjoying good things is not evil, but becoming slaves to pleasure is. That error is most forcible which is least distinct to conscience. Attempt nothing without God's help.
