Beloved Students:— Rest assured that your Leader is living, loving, acting, enjoying. She is neither dead nor plucked up by the roots, but she is keenly alive to the reality of living, and safely, soulfully founded upon the Rock, Christ Jesus, even the spiritual idea of Life with its abounding, increasing, advancing footsteps of progress, primeval faith, hope, love. Like the verdure and evergreen that flourish when trampled upon, the Christian Scientist thrives in adversity: his is a life-lease of hope, home, heaven; his idea is nearing the Way, the Truth, and the Life, when misrepresented, belied, and trodden upon. Justice, honesty cannot be abjured; their vitality involves life,—calm, irresistible, eternal.
