My dear Mrs Eddy

Dr Sawyer has written me saying that he will gladly assist me about opening an Institute. I am still doing a very large business, and am fighting the powers of darkness tooth and nail. This has been a blessed day to me spiritually – The glory of the Lord has seemed to shine all about me since early morningIsa 60:1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. . My darling, the Normal Course was of incalculable benefit to me– I have done much better work since. Have made two instantaneous cures, and a number in a few treatments. Pray for me, not that I may do anything startling but that I may think it high honor to drink of my Saviour's cupMatt 20:22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able. Mark 10:38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? , and to be glad when called upon to suffer for His sakeRom 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. II Tim 2:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: .

– I send you this check for one hundred dollarsEditorial Note: $100.00 in 1886 is the equivalent of $3,113.36 in 2022.. I am deeply grateful for your kindness in giving me time. Dear, the greatest good of my whole life has come to me through you.

Your loving
Laura
