There are 39 in the two classes, and as I have attended three of his classes before I can tell somethingAs Written:some thing of the usual class. This is grand. and such enthusiastic pupils, Most have been cured by us or by some metaphysician so they seem to have the Truth in a Latent form and all it needs is to be awakened. Our Association had a regular "praise meeting" on Sat. and more cures and good work was reported than at any time before. We are all quite careful and do not hesitate to tell our Brothers if they do not walk in The TruthIII John 1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. and according to ScienceEditorial Note: Christian Science. We will unite this class with us on Thursday eve of next week I think the number will be 72.. Where Mr. & Mrs. ShermanEditorial Note: Bradford Sherman and Martha E.

Of course it is due to his great earnestness in The work. There are a number waiting to see whether he will take them into another class. after this is finished.
