I feel that I have a great and multifarious work laid upon me. I share the work with you; and, like you, I will not bend beneath it. God is our stay, our light and guide. I confess I feel less inspired by the prospect of easy success in the Journal work since I have seen the new opposition Journal of Boston. But I feel there is all the more need of prosecuting the special work God has committed to our ha nds.

Now, Dear Woman, let me have your help in prayer, in kind word and suggestion and charitable construction and patient forbearance; and give me all you can from your own pen.

I propose to move into Boston next week sometime; and if it will be convenient to you I think it will be the best thing for me and our common work that we eat at the same table till Mrs. Gill and baby come, and sleep in my rooms.. We shall thus have a better opportunity to know the working of each other's As Written: others thought and work in harmony. I believe you have the best and noblest conception of Mind–healing in the world, and I am consecrated to the work of making it tell to the utmost on the world's life; and I can do this the better the more fully I understand you. Oh God, eternal and Almighty Love, help us both, and all our true fellow workersAs Written:fellowworkers. Sister Crosse is true, I believe.

Lovingly Yours
Wm. I Gill

P.S. I recommend that the Journal be given as a premium for every 4 new subscribers, and Science and HealthEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy for every ten. It will pay. We must make more efforts to promote a paying circulation.

We must also make all the friends we possibly can. Hold on to Brother Adams. In your next letter ask him to write a piece for the Journal, and so Bro. Day. I can use them. They should all be agents for the Journal. –– Gill
