My beloved Student

I have waited, delayed to write hoping to send you a copy of my new bookEditorial Note: Miscellaneous Writings: 1883-1896 by Mary Baker Eddy The first edition is out but the book is very imperfect in its printing. So I shall not send one Do not take one of this edition and tell Mrs King not to order any of this edition When the second edition is out I will send her one and you one Then you can order more if you like I shall send yours in LevantEditorial Note: Levant is a type of bookbinding typically made from quality goatskin leather Mother has more than pen can depict to meet and struggle though to get this book out properly. And not a single student to give her the needed help after 30 years of struggles! Darling, when will my hour comeJohn 12:23 ¶And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. . The students' seem to have come already They have less and less to combat while I seem to have more and more because of their prosperity Evil would revenge on me for the prosperity of our CauseEditorial Note: The cause of Christian Science But Love is greater than all Oh for a taste of Heavenly love here on earth But God will give me a taste of divine Love and that should be enough
