Mrs Eddy. Aug 25.08 2 P.M.

"Out of it are coming the riches of eternity"

Called in Frye – Sargent Dickey, Miss Peck- Mrs Ida Stewart.

Question.. "If you saw a man burdened and overworkedAs Written:over worked would you like to be in his place?" No.

"Suppose you saw the great enterprise presided over by this man - saw the many benefited by him. Saw the great rewards which were his - then would you want to be in his place?" Yes.

"Would you want to be in my place?" One said "no". Then replied Mrs E. "You do not see it."

Mrs Eddy. Aug 25.08

Would you know what rest was except you had been weary? Would you know of harmony except you heard a discord? No. Then out of this experience is to come great good. Out of it are coming the riches of eternity.

Mrs. Sargent quoted S & H. 252: 8. "A knowledge of error & its opperations must preceed the understanding of Truth ect."Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures252:7When false human beliefs learn even a little of their
 own falsity, they begin to disappear. A knowledge of
252:9error and of its operations must precede that
 understanding of Truth which destroys error,
 until the entire mortal, material error finally disappears,
252:12and the eternal verity, man created by and of Spirit,
 is understood and recognized as the true likeness of his
 Maker. Which pleased Mrs. E.

Called back

I called you back to tell you that I heard as if a voice had it spoken it. "My grace is sufficient for theeII Cor 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. ."

Aug 25.08

Called back.

"I wanted you to know how beautifully that verse concludes:

"For my strength is made perfect in weaknessII Cor 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. ."

When I exhibit material strength then am I weak. Willpower As Written: (Will-power temper etc.As Written:ect)

Who is in best health, you or I?

My enemies then have nothing to rejoice over in this present condition.
