Our Leader wishes you would have some thoroughly responsible outside person, write an article to the Sentinel setting forth Mrs. Eddy's unexampled leadership in the interests of Christian Science. Let the article be entitled COMPETENCE, and have it point out the fact that from the inception of this movement until the present time, not one false step had marred the long line of successful efforts put forth by her in support of her religion.

From the time when stones were thrown through the windows and Church doors were closed against her, until today when Christian Science Churches are encircling the globe, the wisdom of her every act has been abundantly sustained by the complete success that has followed every new move she has made.

No special attention need be given to the above wording, the object being to impress thought with our Leader's unerring wisdom and entire COMPETENCY in every branch of life's work she has undertaken. Let the article be strong, and carry with it complete conviction as to her ability to lead under divine guidance.

Sincerely yours,
Adam H. Dickey
