Chicago. Oct 19. 93
My dear Teacher

Your letter of 15thEditorial Note: See L07433. is just received by express. and the beautiful addition to your paperEditorial Note: Mary Baker Eddy's address, "Unity and Christian Science," read to the World's Parliament of Religions at The World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. has been made and will be included in it when it is handed to the Editor-

I have just read it all through as it is, in completed form, and have given thanks, for I feel that it is of God.

Judge Hanna sent me the newspaper synopses of all the papers read before the CongressEditorial Note: This is in reference to the World's Parliament of Religions at The World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. As part of the Parliament events, a Congress of Christian Science was also held, and some of Eddy's students read papers on Christian Science., with the suggestion that perhaps it would be well to try to put them all in, but the matter was left in my hands with an optimal privilege As Written: privelege and I concluded that it would be very unwise to take a reporters estimate of what was salient in those papers, and print them as our contribution to the history.

If I had had the original papers I might have made desirable selections from all of them.

I only had the originals of the addresses of Dr Eddy Judge Hanna, and Mr Farlow.

I took these and condensed them, and added a few sentences & paragraphs so as to make them cover a little more ground, and do a larger service in the way of setting forth important points.

I aimed to have them all present a gentle and alluring phase of pure Christianity and seem to have caught your own thought, (somewhat,- that we are first to educate the heart-

To such an extent as I have made any additions, I shall ask the writers to accept the additions as a sort of revision-

I made use of Mr Buswells name, and a few of his sentences as a vehicle for some further remarks about "Healing the sick"

For many hours, I was under impulsion to write something of a specific character as an offset to "theosophy" and finally wrote the enclosedEditorial Note: The enclosed is not extant. to be placed at the beginning of Judge Hanna's paper which starts with the words " If it be true that All is Mind "

I do not quite know whether it is wise or necessary and in this one particular, I ask your advice-

With much love
Your affectionate Student
