I have no words to thank you for your kind remembrance of us in sending us your photograph.

Ever since I first saw you I have greatly desired a likeness of you as you then appeared, but I dared not ask for one, and had scarcely hoped for it, as there appeared to be an impression that you would not again sit for your picture. But behold! here is a picture the exact counterpart of that which, I feel sure, the camera would have reproduced could it have caught the image in my memory. Ever since I set aside false pride, and made, so far as I knew how, the complete surrender to Truth, my pathway has been strewn with more flowers than, it seems to me, I deserve.

The yoke has been, relatively, easy, and the burden light.Matt 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. I have been, I believe, willing to carry the crossMatt 16:24 ¶Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. . Have I not yet truly taken it up, or has it been in large part carried for me by another? Has the new interpretation of the Christ-Love given us through Science & HealthEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy measurably lifted from our shoulders the cross-bearing burden? Can it be that this is sacrificing all for Christ? If so, it is the sacrifice of exchanging pebbles for pearls; dross for gold.

A number of the students ask: "Can we send to the photographer and get duplicates?" Can they? Also may we have taken from this a crayon, or pastel to put in our building?

I will shortly send you some views of the building. Mrs Hanna joins me in thanks and love.
