| Editorial Title: | Silas J. Sawyer to Mary Baker Eddy, March 10, 1884 |
| Author: | Silas J. Sawyer |
| Recipient: | Mary Baker Eddy |
| Date: | March 10, 1884 |
Manuscript Description: Handwritten by Silas J. Sawyer on his stamped, lined stationery from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Editorial Note: Sawyer tells Mary Baker Eddy that he received a copy of the Boston Advertiser that contains an article about Christian Science. He intends to distribute the article
and believes it will help undo the damage done to the cause of Christian Science in
the area by Fannie M. Silsbee, Clara E. Choate, and Jennie Harvey. Sawyer has recently been impressed that the primary purpose of Christian Science
is to heal sin, rather than merely heal disease. He feels he can be successful in
healing sin if he can only gain a clear realization of God as Love. He feels that
sometimes he briefly attains this, but then when he tries to apply it, a cloud arises
and puts him back in the darkness. He feels a need to subdue the false beliefs of
40 years accumulation.
