My beloved Children

I read with the sense that angels moved your pen and human nature was subdued when you wrote and signed that agreement

Now you are the victors and evil is overcome by Good Now watch and pray that you enter not again into temptationMatt 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. I need help and must not be hindered by my disciples being asleepMatt 26:40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? Matt 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Matt 26:42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. Matt 26:43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. Matt 26:44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. Matt 26:45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. I never had a more crucificial hour than this. I have tried two weeks to have Mr Frey type the Contents of my bookEditorial Note: Miscellaneous Writings, 1883-1896 by Mary Baker Eddy and each time he did it wrong. He is trying again this morningAs Written:moring. The copy that I made right lies before him still he mistakes As Written: mistaks God help me mentally and physically As Written: physially to live through it.

With love mother
