Beloved Students :—Because mother has not even the time to read all of her interesting correspondence, and less wherein to answer it (however much she desires to), she hereby requests: First, that you, her students' students, who write such excellent letters to her, will hereafter, as a general rule, send them to the editors of the Christian Science Journal for publication, and thereby give us all the pleasure of hearing from you.

The fruitage of Love and Truth, after long and patient waiting, is being manifested in stately beauty and glory in this, the Queen City of the West.
