| Editorial Title: | E. A. Orne to Mary Baker Eddy, July 2, 1879 |
| Author: | E. A. Orne |
| Recipient: | Mary Baker Eddy |
| Date: | July 2, 1879 |
Manuscript Description: Handwritten by E. A. Orne on lined paper from Boston, Massachusetts.
Editorial Note: Orne is replying to a letter from Mary Baker Eddy that is not extant. He tells her
that his friends give him no encouragement regarding Christian Science and he says
that he does not know how to talk to them about it without hurting their feelings
or making them laugh. When he speaks "pure Science" to them it does not seem to benefit
them. His mother does not seem to be getting better and she sometimes says she is
no better. She sometimes says she would like to see Eddy. Orne says that he has been
of the "doubting kind" almost all his life and has trouble thinking that mesmerists
are working on him. Since he has had catarrh, he has not felt like studying and is
having trouble remembering things. Nonetheless, he thinks he is becoming more settled
and established in the Truth and wants to show to the world the truth of Christian
Science. He is sorry he rejected Eddy's offering of the position of Secretary, but
he has been somewhat afraid to take on work in Christian Science. He says he is losing
that fear and hopes it will be completely gone soon.
