Your prized letterEditorial Note: This letter is not extant. answering the questions upon faith cures received yesterday.

It was voted to have 500 copies printed in circular form for the members to use carefully among those who inquire after “Truth.”

It is a very clear and helpfull Corrected: helpful letter, but before giving a copy to the committee on printing I wish your consideration of one very vital point in this good letter. Please give it thought and reply as soon as possible that the printing may be done before next meeting. “It requires less time to beleive Corrected: believe than to understand Spiritually” (beautifully true) Less cross bearing and self renunciation in the healer (are words you apply to faith healers.)

If I did not love you as Teacher, Sister and colaborer Corrected: co-laborer for Christ’s sake I would not tax myself to ask you for Christ’s “His” sake to consider how that must wound the self-sacrificing and consecated Corrected: consecrated children of God who have been heald Corrected: healed by faith and who are but lifting their fellow men out of darkness into the sunshine of Gods Corrected: God's love.

There are so called faith healers I cannot approve of, but among the true followers of Christ who are [?] Unclear or illegible  such according to Mark 16 – 15, 20Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. no more cross bearing consecrated people ever lived since the days of the appostles. They all about us here. They are scattered all over America, England and Scotland.

I am succeeding in geting Corrected: getting some of the noble Christian men and woman interested in the blessed work and in yourself. I want them to love you from the first and not missunderstand you.

I have drawn my pencil over and inserted another word at one point to ask if it does not make a better phrase. Doubtless you did not think of its going to print and wrote in haste.

The true understanding of faith healing is not bescheing Corrected: beseeching God to do what he has all ready done but to accept “His” word His promises and live by faith (Spiritually) and not by sense, not upon finite evidence but infinite power yea Love & Truth, aye Life eternal.

Now then could you not for “His” sake and the sake of His dear children change that sentence so that when it is printed and goes out to the christian world they shall understand you as I trust we who know and love you do, and they shall not say you are amonge Corrected: amoung those of whom the Master said woe to him who shall offend one these little onesMatt 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Mark 9:42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. Luke 17:1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! Luke 17:2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. .

Its not fear of criticism but love to our dear causeEditorial Note: The cause of Christian Science, love to the dear followers of the MasterEditorial Note: Jesus Christ be he C.S.Expanded:Christian Scientist – Presb.Expanded:Presbyterian Methodist, Baptist or no name that constrains me to ask this.

Less cross bearing and self renunciation are the words needing change, as applied to the faith healer.

The dear Father is secretly near me (manifestly so) this week and I trust will soon be powerfully so. I am asking Him to reveal to me the true understanding of perfect consecration. Day by day it is comeing Corrected: coming and all my joy is in “Him” only. The Lord bless thee is my constant prayer. Jude 24Jude 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, .
