I have received to-day Corrected: today a letter from my friend, Mr. George H. Moses, one of the editors of the Concord "Monitor" of your cityEditorial Note: Concord, New Hampshire.. The letter reveals to me such a sympathetic, manly, and kind attitude on the part of Mr. Moses toward you and your work that I am going to quote to you one or two passages from said letter. Personally Mr. Moses is very indignant at the ending of the question of your contributions to the "Woman's EditionEditorial Note: A first "Woman's Edition" of the Concord Monitor was produced in May 1896, which featured important contributions by women. Prominent New Hampshire women, including Mary Baker Eddy, were invited to subscribe for a page to be filled with a biography, photos and other details regarding their work. However, there were disagreements between Mary Baker Eddy and the editor of this edition regarding Eddy's page, and she withdrew from participation." of the "Monitor," and speaks out fearlessly and frankly. I am more and more convinced that you, the CauseEditorial Note: The cause of Christian Science., and myself as a worker in this movement, have in Mr. Moses a staunch and true friend, and one who will stand ready to be of service at any time in any called-for way.

He writes: "So far as I am concerned as a journalist I am indignant that the negotiations with Mrs. Eddy should have closed as they did. Had I been the editor of the "Woman's Edition" I would have seen the kickers go hang before I would have surrendered the control of my pages to their dictation, and in this view of it I am supported by nearly everybody with whom I have had occasion to discuss the matter. Mrs. Eddy is easily the foremost woman in New Hampshire. To narrow her to the most contracted sphere whichyou will comeenter into this disputation, and it is folly to bar her from an enterprise of this kind. But, as I said, I have nothing to do with the "Woman's Edition," and those who have been puffed up with a little brief authority, having made a mess of it, must shoulder their own troubles and get out of an embarrassing and ridiculous position as best they may............ Mrs. Eddy is too free from guile, and too gentle, to be compelled to undergo such an experience as the one we are now considering."

Please note that these utterances are private from Mr. Moses to me, and therefore I will ask that you do not use them in any way as coming from him, because it was in a confidential letter to me that he wrote them.

The relationship of the Concord "Monitor" and its editorial staff to the "Woman's Edition" turns out to be just about as I thought it was, and just as I presented the matter to Judge Hanna and Dr. Eddy on Friday last when I was in BostonEditorial Note: Boston, Massachusetts. I could not for an instant believe that the editors of the daily paper of your city had entirely changed their attitude toward you and your work in such a short period of time. Neither could I believe that Mr. Moses, who is influential on the editorial staff, would allow any such treatment to go on. I felt from the beginning that the entire Edition was in the hands of certain women of your city, and that error was working through these particular persons, and this evidently turns out to be the inner facts of the case. Miss Abbott and those whose protests she listened to were evidently the obstructions in the path, and were the instruments of error, bigotry, and materialism, to keep out the words of New Hampshire's foremost daughter, as well as America's greatest reformer and religious tTeacher. Error seems to have been rife in your immediate vicinity of late, but how blessed it is to know that it is also powerless and that you are virtually above its shafts and free from its leaden skies of doubt and barrenness. The thinking population of Concord are going through a wonderful change in their attitude toward your work. Of this I am convinced; especially after I heard Mr. Moses's remarks, when I was last in Concord, about the general impression that you made on the people. He spoke so beautifully of the visible singleness of your life, saying to me that Mrs. Eddy was known to keep up practically no "social life" whatever, but gave her whole time to the great work of Christian Science, only being seen when she went to take her quiet drive.

I am glad to have my feelings about the "Monitor's" attitude confirmed, because it is a most valuable thing to you, and to our Cause, to have the daily paper of your city friendly, tolerant, and hospitable to you, and it would mean a great degree of discord to all concerned to have it otherwise. But those who rejected the Truth in this instance, as I wrote in my last letter, are the losers, and some day will awaken to learn that the "Woman's Edition" with the words of Mary Baker Eddy omitted was like ""HamletEditorial Note: This is a reference to William Shakespeare's play, Hamlet." with Hamlet left out." Remember, dear Mother, that Mrs. Stetson and I stand ever ready to be of service in any way that we can. The world is fast growing to a sufficient altitude of discernment to see that Christian Science has come to stay, and that you represent the advance guard of twentieth century thought; that the prophecies that you have given the world during the last thirty years are rapidly being fulfilled; and that the fields are already white for the harvestJohn 4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. that you have inaugurated through metaphysical healing and the reformatory work of Christian Science.

Our work goes on well here. You will be glad to know that quite a number of my immediate family in the flesh have either become or are becoming Christian Scientists, and that those in my family who utterly lacked sympathy with Christian Science are fast coming into sympathy with it. Our ChurchEditorial Note: First Church of Christ, Scientist, New York City nears completion and is going to be a great credit to our Cause.

If Mrs. Stetson were here she would join in fond love.
