Miss Mary RamseyEditorial Note: Eddy accidentally addresses this letter to Emily M. Ramsay.. C.S.B.,
Beloved Student:–

I have put aside my work long enough to attend to yours. I like the general trend of your articleEditorial Note: This article was published in Volume 3 of the Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics, edited by James Hastings. The 12 volumes of the encyclopedia, plus an index volume, were published between the years 1908 and 1921. and have interlined your description of Christian Science practice, that must not be called that, for such is the title of a chapter in "Science And Health with Key to the Scriptures"— your textbookAs Written:text book. What you wrote on the practice of Christian Science was not strong and profound enough.

I have erased six paragraphs quoted from my copyrighted works, but will leave what else you have borrowed. I cannot permit so much of my writings to be published by anyoneAs Written:any one over his signature such a precedent might cause others to infringe my copyright. Remember dear one, that the Golden RuleMatt 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Luke 6:31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. is a rule in the Manual of The Mother Church of which you are a member.

With love
Mary Baker Eddy
