Beloved studentsEditorial Note: Septimus J. Hanna and Camilla A. Hanna,

I have erased your verities because they are spoken too soon . Wait for growth. The TextbooksEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy contain it all – but so arranged as to require growth before it is spoken by those who have not grown to it. The letter killeth; it is the spirit, understanding, behind the words which maketh aliveII Cor 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. . I doubt not that your articleEditorial Note: See 033A.13.047. is grand. But it is true that my students are killing to a fearful extent the spirit and effects of my writings by using them so glibly in theirs. The long article in Dr. Barrow's bookEditorial Note: John Henry Barrows, The History of the World’s Parliament of Religions, 2 vols. (Chicago: Parliament Publishing Company, 1893). testifies to this - alas! alas!

Please tell no one how you utilize "Christ and ChristmasEditorial Note: Christ and Christmas by Mary Baker Eddy, published on December 2, 1893."; used thus it is a mental opiate by which the dreamy ecstasy As Written: extacy of the repeater lulls fear, nothing else. There is an axe to be used, and laid at the rootMatt 3:10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Luke 3:9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. . This axe is the first Hebrew commandmentEx 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. as explained in my works –and your article, no doubt. Wield this weapon every spare moment – do some cutting each time - and then the lie will topple down Wait patiently on the LordPs 27:14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord. as I wait on students

Lovingly
