Among many expressions of gratitude for translations of Dr. Powell's biography of Mrs. Eddy, already referred to, a Christian Science Society in Java writes:
"As the translation... into Dutch now is published and has met a cordial welcome in Java, we want to express our deep gratitude for having a valuable book in our language to be read by those who are not able to read it in the original. We are sure that this Dutch translation of Powell's book will help to make us understand better the life, motives, and work of our dear Leader, and the immense importance of all the activities of The Mother Church and branch churches. Undoubtedly it will promote the Cause of Christian Science in the Dutch-speaking countries."
