but we know by living in God's presence we have life. and by overcoming the world in imitation of ChristJohn 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace.

we have just had a letter from Detroit saying that Mrs Plunkett is about to start a College there, but think she will fail in her attempt as her reputation is not good. a lady who knew her well, told me about the life she was leading In her stripe of Error, there will be no star of freedom, till the dove of peace is her welcome guest. every few days I hear Mrs Hopkins name mentioned.
How could she step from truth to error. she must regret the action she has taken, if I could only see you your dear self could tell you many things that I cannot write, about, if we could only have harmony, where there is discord, how delightful As Written: delightfull it would seemAs Written:seeme, we are all well and happy in our work. my sister wishes to be remembered As Written: remember with much love and the best of wishes for your dear self. also Mr Sherman sends many blessings and the kindest of his heart best wishes, my dear teacher we often say and feel that no stain has dimmed the honored truth of our scienceEditorial Note: Christian Science, and no thoughts of strife can molest its precious light of immortality
