Beloved Mother,

Let me thank you with loving gratitude for the wonderful words of LifeEditorial Note: Possibly an allusion to a hymn titled "Wonderful Words of Life" with words and music written in 1874 by Philip P. Bliss. that have come to us this week in your "Miscellaneous Writings". I feel now that you have opened wider the gate to HeavenGen 28:16 ¶And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not. Gen 28:17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven. , more Love is pouring in upon us. The character of God is more beautifully illumined. I pray that I may utilize all the helps you have given us teaching us how "in humility and meekness to climb the heights of holinessMary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures513:26God creates all forms of reality. His thoughts are
513:27spiritual realities. So-called mortal mind — being non-
 existent and consequently not within the range of im‐
514:1mortal existence — could not by simulating deific power
 invert the divine creation, and afterwards recreate per‐
514:3sons or things upon its own plane, since noth‐
 ing exists beyond the range of all-inclusive
 infinity, in which and of which God is the
514:6sole creator. Mind, joyous in strength, dwells in the
 realm of Mind. Mind’s infinite ideas run and dis‐
 port themselves. In humility they climb the heights of
514:9holiness.
".

With inexpressible love
Yours-
