My dear Student,

Words are inadequate to express the love that flows from the human heart touched by the Divine.

That sweet, dear offering of thine, reached me as a prayer, that unites us in Christian As Written: christian fellowship.

Now darling, I hear of your success as a healer. I knew it would be so. The Christ heals, the Spirit and not the letter is the potency of Christian Science.

One thing let me ask of thee. Do as David did when his heart was wrung at the severance of earthly ties. Lay off thy sackclothAs Written:sackloth, exchange the bitter tear for the oil of gladnessIsa 61:1 The spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; Isa 61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; Isa 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified. . This is scienceEditorial Note: Christian Science, to "rejoice alway", as Paul admonishesPhil 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.

Now darling, death is as unreal as sickness; your dear one never died; No, he never died! Lift up your eyes and lift up your heart to behold Life eternal. Let this comfort you that you only sorrow in belief, or can sorrow except over a belief. Now rise superior to this belief in death, or sorrow, for ScienceEditorial Note: Christian Science divine, reveals the great truth that Life is the master of death, and joy that abides in Him, the master of all grief.

Christ hath overcome the grave. Truth and Love, God our Father, as taught by Jesus, hath taken away death; for He hath shown us that all the evidence or testimony of the senses is untrue, unreal! Now let us rejoice this Christmas Morn that Christ hath so arisen to our understanding that all sense material, is hushed; and the great facts spiritual of Life and Love, are more apparent All else, which belongs only to human, mortal belief, is false Love to Miss. Brown

Ever thine
