July 31st 1891.
I failed to make the train in time for the boat at Fall RiverEditorial Note: Fall River, Massachusetts, and so remained over in BostonEditorial Note: Boston, Massachusetts on Wednesday. I saw Mrs Cooley, and explained to her the circumstances and told her not to publish As Written: publiah the article on Education, at least without submitting it to you. I had a pleasant As Written: pleasent visit with Bro. Norcross.
We cheerfully acquiesce As Written: acquiese in your decision, seeing clearly that to establish schools which
should be known as such, would inevitably lead to
some measure of material organization, and would be but opposing material methods
to
material methods. It would be wielding the sword of PeterJohn 18:1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook
Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples. John 18:2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither
with his disciples. John 18:3 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and
torches and weapons. John 18:4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said
unto them, Whom seek ye? John 18:5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. John 18:6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. John 18:7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. John 18:8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way: John 18:9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have
I lost none. John 18:10 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest’s servant, and
cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus. John 18:11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father
hath given me, shall I not drink it? instead of the Sword of
Truth. It would be error attempting
to cast out errorMatt 12:26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom
stand? ; and yet how subtle the error! [?] Unclear or illegible
The devil assuming the guise of
an angel of LightII Cor 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
II Cor 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. II Cor 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness;
whose end shall be according to their works. . If he would only appear arrayed in horns and hoofs and fiery As Written: firey tail, we should have no difficulty in keeping out of his way.
[In view of the general feeling that schools should be established, and the fact that in two or three places steps are being taken in the direction of local schools, would it not be well for you to say a word upon the subject in the next JOURNAL?]"
May I tell you what a grand lesson I learned as the result of my visit? I saw most clearly defined, Mrs Eddy, the personal, and Mrs Eddy, the impersonal. I saw as words of description could never have made me see, Mrs Eddy on the human plane, and Mrs Eddy on the Mount. That of itself would have explained to me the seeming "variableness and shadow of turningJames 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. " without a word from you. Mrs Eddy "on the Mount" plainly discerned the wiles of BeelzebubEph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. : Mrs Eddy off the Mount, was touched by the false claim and for the moment yielded to it. How important then that we should, all of us, keep our gaze fixed steadfastly As Written: stedfastly on the Mount. Henceforth LOVE must be our only school-masterGal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. . Mrs. Hanna joins me in much love.
