Dear Mrs. Eddy how many there are over this fair land, who love and revere you, and how many more to come!

Although for years I have been an enthusiastic practitioner of Homeopathy I but lately learned, to understand the real force which did the work in my several years of rather unusually successful practice, and now I am striving to "Go on unto perfection."Heb 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

With Sincere Love and Gratitude,
