Your kind letterEditorial Note: This letter is not extant. of inquiry Came to me this morning, and I am very glad to tell you that I feel that it is well with me & mine. I have learned that “Perfect love Casteth out all fear”I John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. . and only to my heavenly Father can I look for strength & guidance in this work. I am firmer in the Truth todayAs Written:to day than ever before. and no power on earth can destroy God'sAs Written:Gods power.

He is all powerful, and in Him we live. and move, and have our beingActs 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. . No man can take Truth from me that is God given, and I am not looking to mortal, but to God for a better & clearer understanding of this grand & glorious Truth. and I feel that only as my own life is cleansed of mortal thought & error can I gain & know the foundation to be not of sandMatt 7:24 ¶Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: Matt 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. Matt 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: Matt 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. Luke 6:46 ¶And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Luke 6:47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: Luke 6:48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. Luke 6:49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great. . I think I have followed your teaching of Truth to me, & have learned & am learning to make sin mere nothing than sickness, and in so doing find that a feeling of love goes out toward all humanity. there is not a person living to whom I bear the least malice, and not one who I would not relieve of pain & suffering if I knew that they were suffering and it was in my power, to help them

Mrs Eddy I thought strange I must be frank with you, that you should write me such a letterEditorial Note: This letter is not extant. in regard to the percentage on Students, and then Mr Frye to writeEditorial Note: This letter is not extant. as he did. if you did not intend to allow me five per cent, why should you ask me anythingAs Written:any thing about it. Mr Frye knew the discount you were now allowing me on the booksEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy., and I knew that the booksEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. before I left these to Dr Sawyer had been sold west for twenty four dollarsEditorial Note: $24.00 is the equivalent of $677.16 in 2018. per doz. sets I did not mind that, but feel as though from the way you wrote that others in Students were getting that amount & if so, I thought I might have it. I never asked you to give me that. I am plain & outspoken, but find that the better way, surely I have tried ever since I first read the books of Science & HealthEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. to be an honest & Earnest worker for Truth, and feel todayAs Written:to day as though God sees me & knows my every thought & act, and that if I was of benefit to humanity that my life must be what it ought, & in my work & what I see around me. how these words are unified to me. that what we sow we shall reap. that “The way of the transgressor is hard”Prov 13:15 Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard. .

now in this political campaignAs Written:campagne I see so much competition. principle is left in the backgroundAs Written:back ground, and party & the mighty dollar is what carries the day, not more so in this than other things only at present this seems to be more general.

Mrs Eddy you say it seems to you that a man has been dimming my clear sense of you, no man that I know of in this world, has done that. and you speak of me As your stray lamb, and I feel as though instead of going astray. I have been nearing the fold of Christ. I am earnestly striving each day to gain in Truth. and uplift thought, that others may reap the reward.

I receivedAs Written:recd a beautiful letterEditorial Note: This letter is not extant. from Mrs Williams todayAs Written:to day sixteen pages long.

She is an earnest worker for Truth, yet has many family cares that must be attended toAs Written:too. I wonder if Mr Swartz will have any success, surely not long, for Truth will destroy error.
