Dear Student

I have given your advertisementAs Written:ad. to the Ed. of Journal but cannot say whether or not she will insert it. The claim is as great as that in my curriculum, can you meet it? No, your demonstration answers that. Your healing can bear no resemblance to mine more than the infant to an adult.

Your teaching must be in the same ratio. Have you ventured into this sacred claim with due preparation?

It will do more harm to Christian Science than anything ever yet done if you give your students or the community to understand you can teach more than the rudiments. You have made a terrible mistake to call your school a College! It is an imposition on the age for us to claim only meekly Christs' power especially a student

Remember me kindly to your wife and I am as ever
