BELOVED STUDENTS:—
I have faithfully sought the direction of Divine wisdom in my advice herein given, namely, that you vote TODAYAs Written:TO-DAY to dissolve this organization.
1st. Because the teacher who organized this first Christian Science Association has retired from her place in the College, and no longer prepares the students for entering this Association.
2nd. Because new students whom others have taught may not receive the reception that her students have received from this associated body. They may not consider them students of the same grade, and this may incite improper feeling between my students and the students of other teachers. I regret to say that there has been much discord in the past, between students connected with this Christian Science Association, and it would seem more natural for them to harmonize than different grades of students; hence the precedent does not favor the hope for future harmony.
3rd. Because it is more in accord with Christian Science for you to unite on the basis of Love and meet together in bonds of affection, from unselfish motives and the purpose to benefit each other, and honor the cause. Therefore I strongly recommend this method alone, of continuing without organization, the meeting together of the students of the Massachusetts As Written: Massachusets Metaphysical College.
I most earnestly desire that the present reputation of my College shall be sustained, and go into history honoring God and whomsoever He hath anointed with peace on earth and love for the whole human family.
