My precious Child

Your letterEditorial Note: See 183.31.029. tells me much. More indeed than your pen traced. It tells me that you are growing and your growth seems slow to you only because it is so much faster than you recognize. This fact also tells me another good thing namely, That you have come to Mount Zion, and the fiery As Written: firey ordeal, the Mount that was awful to touchEx 19:12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death: has frightened you a little, so that the Zion beautiful to behold seems not so placid, so comforting, so homelike as it will when the scare of your footsteps thither has all passed. Now, no character becomes Christlike until it is substantial. But the flames you spoke of never kindled upon you! God is Love and God is All. Dismiss your false concept of something besides Him. Rest in Good, His yoke is easy. Why? because as our Master said "I am meek and lowly in heart"Matt 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matt 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Yes dear one, my bookEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy now expresses me, my invisible self, Oh! how glad I am that God gave me opportunity As Written: oppertunity to utter myself Keep on healing and teaching and He not you will take care of you.

Lovingly ever
