I return the page proofsEditorial Note: These proofs are for revisions to the Church Manual; McKenzie assisted in it's arrangement. See L06985. Have made some changes that await the Directors adoption I thank you, dear one, for your care and correctness I have had much thinking over the page that is so cut up and have settled the question thus She hath done what she couldMark 14:3 ¶And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head. Mark 14:4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? Mark 14:5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her. Mark 14:6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. Mark 14:7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always. Mark 14:8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. Mark 14:9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her. Too much teaching and preaching is already As Written: alredy being done If ought checks it and the students give more of their time to make themselves good healers – it will hinder history recording another collapse in religion God give us better healers for healing more than all else demonstrates the ScienceEditorial Note: Christian Science Give my love to Mrs M Kenzie and kiss the dear little mortal who comes and goes with a cry – for Mother.

With love thine
