My dear Student,

There is policy in war. "Be wise as a serpent"Matt 10:16 ¶Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. There is a great effort to break us up, just now here and in ChicagoEditorial Note: Chicago, Illinois. Is it not wise to keep such working members as Dr. Avery and all he can bring in your Asso.Editorial Note: The Christian Scientist Association of Chicago was a branch of the Christian Scientist Association in Boston, Massachusetts.? But dear judge wisely and keep out all that are spiritualists for they are ready to take any measure against the Christian Scientists. Now I have by vote of our Asso. The right to grant the special privilege to Dr. Avery to bring his students into your Asso. if your members agree to it I have granted him this privilege, now it rests with your Asso. to do as you please, and I would advise if he is loyal to the scienceEditorial Note: Christian Science and me to keep him in your ranks and his students also if they are suitably qualified

Now darling student, let that mind which was in the meek and loving Master be in you alsoPhil 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: . Govern your temper with absolute sway

Remember the awful wrongs done your teacher in every possible way and if you would have her place you must drink her cupMatt 20:22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able. Mark 10:38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? . Now remember how quick she forgive a fault that has repented or was mistake

Ever the same
