Will you please send me 4 lectures called Christian Healing. EnclosedAs Written: Inclosed please find $1.00Editorial Note: $1.00 in 1884 is the equivalent of $28.22 in 2018. for the same, and the postage.
I never read it before, and I feel that I want to own it, having seen it. I find that people out here are very much interested in ScienceEditorial Note: Christian Science. I would like to have Mrs Eddy and all the rest of you come out here. I feel as if you all were my own relations. We like out here very much.
Give my love to Mrs Eddy. I wrote to her As Written: here just after I arrived here, but do not know as she has received it.
Have been sorry to hear about Levi Childs. I trust and hope that dear Mrs Eddy will not have another one of her students go astray. The other side are building the tower of BabelGen 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. Gen 11:2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. Gen 11:3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. Gen 11:4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. Gen 11:5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. Gen 11:6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Gen 11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. Gen 11:8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Gen 11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. and they will not last much longer. God grant that this belief of error be removed from our sight.
I hope trust and pray I may be able to do good work in the ScienceEditorial Note: Christian Science. I find most of the students out here think everything As Written: every thing of Mrs Eddy. God help them when they turn from her. I miss it so much not being able to meet you all, and to go to the Sunday services As Written: servises .
I only meant to write just one word. Give my love to the students
