Our very dear Teacher;

Being aware your time is always fully occupied we have not communicated with you since leaving class last September; but we often think and speak of our dear teacher and feel ever grateful for the Truth we have been taught. We are striving "to walk in the Light as we have received it"I John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. , and we are here in the cause of Truth.

The progress is very slow in awakening an interest here, but by faithfully adhering to Principle we know we will succeed. We are not eloquent, hence we cannot express how, day by day, we realize more fully the Truth you have taught us, and feel we never can be grateful enough to HimEditorial Note: God "who is the giver of every good and perfect gift"James 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. , that this Truth appeared first in this nineteenth century to one who so deserved it as our dear teacher, who, has proven by faithfulness to Principle in adversity,— and still faithful to Principle in prosperity,– claiming nothing as her own, "but all for Him". Our dear faithful teacher (Oh what a blessed privilege As Written: priviledge is ours to be your students) our hearts are full. We mean to be true, we mean to be deserving of all that has been bestowed upon us.

The object of this note is to express (though feebly) our gratitude to you for "Leading us beside' the still waters."Ps 23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. We hope when prepared for still greater blessings to go through the entire course. If you should wish to communicate with us at any time other than by letter, we are ready to respond to your call whenever deemed necessary, feeling always assured that it will be for the good of the causeEditorial Note: The cause of Christian Science.. We shall ever feel grateful for even a note from our teacher.— Believe us your loving students,—

Mr & Mrs F. D. Snider.
