OUR LEADER'S TRIBUTE TO THE BIBLE

From the June 1906 issue of The Christian Science Journal

This letter was later republished in The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany: My. 295: 8-20


[The following letter from our Leader was published in the May issue of the Journal, but through inadvertence it was divided into two paragraphs, the second of which was carried over to another page, thus breaking the continuity of the thought expressed. We regret this mistake, and hope that it will be atoned for by this explanation and the publication of Mrs. Eddy's letter just as it should have appeared last month.—Editor.]

Pleasant View, Concord, N. H., March 24, 1906.

Mr. Edward J. Wessels, 275 Clinton Avenue,
Brooklyn, N. Y.

Dear Student: —I am in grateful receipt of your time worn Bible in German. This Book of books is also the gift of gifts; and kindness in its largest, profoundest sense is goodness. It was kind of you to give it to me. I thank you for it. Christian Scientists are fishers of men. The Bible is our sea-beaten Rock. It guides the fishermen. It stands the storm. It engages the attention and enriches the being of all men. Sincerely yours,
