"Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivereth him out of them allPs 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. ." This is scripture – this is truth. "Be of good cheerJohn 16:3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. " "go in peaceMark 5:34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. Luke 8:48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. " These are Gods words to you, and they are mine to you and you hear no other words. All the world talking to me against you could not move me or change my abiding understanding that you are a good man, and that God is so loved and honored in the good you have done and are doing that it is impossible for M. A. M. to turn you back to the sea. You are going on to the rest of the righteous where "there is no more sea.Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. ." And you are comforted, and I will tell you what all this means. It means that I am more and more convinced of your uprightness, and this small affair will kill itself. But I thought and know it will die sooner after your present resignationEditorial Note: At the request of Mary Baker Eddy, Eastaman resigned from The Christian Science Board of Directors in March 1893 and devoted himself to his Christian Science healing practice. that will quiet the envy at your success in healing. You are being taught now to heal more through grace, than power. This affliction is to spiritualize you, and it will, for God loves you, and I love you and we both chasten those we loveHeb 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. ! Pray the way you said, I told you all to do so at the first meeting of the N. C. S. A. in Tremont Temple BostonEditorial Note: Boston, Massachusetts do you remember it? Pray every day for Love Divine to leave you not to be tempted or yield to temptation in any directionMatt 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. Luke 11:4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. , and to give you grace and wisdom each day to know and to do just what God would have you, this means to reflect God.

Lovingly ever your
