My Much Loved Teacher.

Have been wishing so much of late that I understood the Scriptures better.

Want so much to take hold of this Divine Science with the Spiritual understanding, for I realize it is the only way it can possibly be understood.

Was trying to recall something last evening that you had taught me when I fell asleep and dreamed I was saying to you, Mrs Eddy do write a commentary upon the Bible it would do the world so much good.

Decided this morning I would look in “Key to the Scriptures” and see if I could find what I wanted there, the book opened at chapterAs Written:chapt. ten Platform of Christian Science. It was just the chapterAs Written:chapt. I needed. Wish I had at least six hours a day to study those books and my Bible.

How little those knew who said, “no one would read your books,” when you were writing them: just as much as those know who say now that this Science will not save the sick the sinner and the dying. It is saving me every day.

I do thank God for such a teacher. May our love for each other never be severed nor our ranks be broken into again and one of our number taken out to work against us is my earnest prayer.

The thought of God’s mercy and love to me “even me” is very precious today.

Wish I could express some of the thoughts I have had this morning upon mesmerismAs Written:mesmarism and see what you thought of them. Am going to try next Tuesday evening.

Affectionately yours
K. A. Jeffery.
