YoursEditorial Note: See 220A.36.017. of the 28th UltimoAs Written:ult made me sad, sad that I am not understood when my heart holds not one emotion towards you but love.
I do not question your pure devotion and beautiful Christian character. I always recognize this. But I did remark to Miss Campbell my thoughts on the influence that I know is employed to disunite the hearts of Christians everywhere. The Theological view of one Devil, or evil, is met in Christian Science with positive denial. But darling, St. Paul expressed my sense of this fleshly warfare, in the recognition of the human impulse now expressed by many minds, many evils, when he wrote ― "When I would do good evil is present with me"Rom 7:21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. The broad cast influence of erroneous thoughts is what I refer to, both voluntary and involuntary, against which everyoneAs Written:every one should, needs, to watch, – and to recognize, in order to be safe under the shadow of His wingsPs 17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings, Ps 91:4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. . Oh! do not doubt my confidence in you as a christian. Few of my students have ever impressed me with the faith I have in your hourly christian life. [?] Unclear or illegible ScienceEditorial Note: Christian Science This is all I need assure you. I have to probe many hearts, to heal them; but love, love only, drives me to do this- I have to talk and write what God bids me, often when I feel myself praying that this cup might pass from meMatt 26:39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. , yet I yield lovingly, or try to, to the Divine will, – and do and write and talk as I understand God would have me. This dear one, is my mission, even if it is a cross under which one may faint as did our blessed MasterEditorial Note: Jesus Christ, yet say – "not my will but thine be doneLuke 22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. " Oh! do not take hearsay whereby to interpret my words or my motives. Nobody gets me rightly who speaks of me. Kiss the sweet "wee one" for me. Give my love to your husband and dear Paul; and believe me ever sincerely
