CONCORD, New HampshireAs Written:N. H., June 19 1893
My precious student

Yours welcome.

Before forgetting it I want to say that my mind was so shocked by what we discovered that I forgot the importance of asking you to lunch with me! I felt very sorry on recalling it that I had not done so.

Yes, dear, all good thoughts impersonal, are right; but God knows better than we how to care for sinners. David said "Let him curse on perhaps God hath bidden him"II Sam 16:11 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the Lord hath bidden him. . I grow more and more cautious about trespassing as I learn more of Divine Love. I was more than thankful to see you so clear and watchful. Without the "cup"Matt 20:22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able. Matt 20:23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father. this could not be. We are thrashed like the cornIsa 28:27 For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod. Isa 28:28 Bread corn is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it with his horsemen. to make us yield nutriment for ourselves and others I have learned through suffering all I have written and taught.

Lovingly thine
Mary BG Eddy

N. B. I have suffered enough from Associations and organizations to know their susceptibility of being wrong.. But we must forget self and do the most good for the largest number.

To do this organizations are at present are indispensable, Churches especially. For if we conform all that we can to present religious modes we shall catch more fish, and our MasterEditorial Note: Jesus Christ made his students fishers of menMatt 4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. . Again in love
