Beloved Students;

God has bidden me speak out this morning and if I do not the stones will cry outLuke 19:40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. . It is this. "Don't you appoint Dr Foster E. as reader either of Science and HealthEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy or the Scriptures on Sunday in our church. I have an awful revelation of him that I must make to you but I confess I am afraid of him & can only do it when he will not know what I am doing.

Appoint Judge Hanna for the reader of both S & HEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy and the Bible till God opens the way further.

Now I charge you in His dear name Dont you let anybody know (neither wives nor anyoneAs Written:any one) what I have written.

I must do this to save our CauseEditorial Note: the cause of Christian Science Now he will take you up incessantly to make you elect him. Arm yourselves against this. Take yourselves up constantly that he can't control your thought

Call your church meeting at once. Take him up that he cannot prevent the adoption of those rules that I sent yesterday. After your church As Written: chuch meeting hold a meeting of the Board and appoint the reader. If you cannot As Written: canot do all this before Sunday As Written: Suday have Judge Hanna preside on Sunday As Written: Suday as usual. This lot empowers you to do.

To keep Dr from knowing that I have influenced you tell him when he asks and tell others too that I told you to elect your candidate In law writing and saying are two different statements So tell him I have not said anything to you about who to select for reader

All of you adopt this same way of speaking Oh my cup flows over AbsalomII Sam 13:1 And it came to pass after this, that
Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
was not half to David what Dr is to me. He is so treacherous so sly and untruthful I do fear him I see the harm he is doing already and he revenges on me if I try to prevent it and he finds it out
