Your esteemed favor of the 23d ultEditorial Note: This letter is not extant. came duly to hand with thanks.

Having studied your textbooksAs Written:text books with earnestness for months and put into successful practice the truths therein taught with the aid of private instructions from Mr. Sherman, could you not make the terms low, for me to come andspendsuch time per day as would be best, with you for one week (or less) without waiting for the class. You have made the "Principle" plain enough for the earnest, consecrated, spiritual student but there are practical ideas to be put in force when we sit down with the patient I would like to have from your own lips. Our FatherEditorial Note: God has blessed my work and led me into new fields of spiritual thought in practice helpful in healing that my teachers did not bring out to me. I have some precious results in the work. Of course I have had to show results before much financial benefit As Written: benifit can come. If I can have the money to go soon I do not wish to wait for the class neither do I wish to spend a long time for it is impossible for me to leave my family long as finances are now.

Please state the lowest possible sum the above arrangement can be carried out for on your part and then I have to add to As Written: too that the cost of RailroadAs Written:R. R. fare As Written: fair and hotel bills and see if I cannot raise itand go at once.

To answer the last question and add what are the direct practical benefits As Written: benifits will require but a few moments and will tend to aid forward the good work in the west.

Humble as my life has been, it has been with an eye singleMatt 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. Matt 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! to "His" glory and my earnest purpose is to praise "Him" in this glorious work. Please accept As Written: except Ephesians 3–14, 21 inclusiveEph 3:14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Eph 3:15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, Eph 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; Eph 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, Eph 3:18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; Eph 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Eph 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Eph 3:21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. as my salutation As Written: salutaion to you. Please reply as early as time will permit.

Sincerely As Written: Sincerly Yours
