BostonEditorial Note: Boston, Massachusetts, Nov. 18. 1885
My dear Student,

Have snatched a few moments to reply to your inquiryEditorial Note: This letter is not extant.

Do not let your mind rest for a moment on his legitimate business as interfering in any way with God's power. It cannot affect it in the least. If he took medicine or drugs that would be bad, for he then would have other godsEx 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. to heal him, but as he is in his ignorance following a business that he does not see injures but he really believes benefits mankind, that changes the case. After you heal him then is the time to explain to him the powerlessness of drugs and the power of Truth over them.

Am pleased to hear from you and the good news you bring

Adieu for this time

Your loving Teacher.
M B G Eddy

Will send you a Certificate after a little more time is given
