My dear Student

When others are at rest I write to let you know I never forget you. So long as a student is good and faithful so long I remember them and sooner would a Mother forget her children than I forget themIsa 49:15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.

You must not think that going through a class annually would keep you in the paths of His testimonyPs 25:10 All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. , for it would not, but this will do it. To search your own nature and see what is unlike the true likeness As Written: likness and eradicate it. You know what the model is in ScienceEditorial Note: Christian Science, reach it faster and faster as years ripen your experience and give you the necessary opportunity As Written: oppertunity for doing this. I have a class in session Have more than I can do and nobody yet to take my place O how disheartening this is after twenty long years!

Love to your husband and yourself
MBG Eddy
