My dear Students
Mrs Bates
and
Mrs Hulin

It is my students not the workmen who are doing this awful sin they are not pushing the work as it should be. Instead of 2 plasterers there should have been 4 at work. Then the decorators could be at work today. My pardon is not God's This loss of time will never be forgiven them, and the penaltyAs Written:penality includes a million times more than you or they now see

Three months of the best time for work was thrown away, money squandered, and the Dr bearing false reports to me. So that between his talk and the DirectorsEditorial Note: The Christian Science Board of Directors sloth and disobedience the mesmerists have had it their own way. Oh God, where are thy followers after they are left to the control of evil minds! What is this Church to me or to you if Mesmerism governs its Directors, as certainly it has and is still doing. Their purpose is to kill me through those who dip with me in the dishMatt 26:23 And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. , and then where is our CauseEditorial Note: The cause of Christian Science? on earth? left in the keeping of mesmerists and the mesmerized? I tremble when "I remember that God is justEditorial Note: This is a reference to a quote from Thomas Jefferson in Notes on the State of Virginia (1785)."

Mother

Nota BeneAs Written:N. B. The Church will not be built the year that God told them to build if they go on as now And if it is not, Woe be to them who are guilty of this needless, useless stubborn, disdain of God’s command If it is not done it shall stand as a memorial not of me, but them even as Lots wifeGen 19:26 ¶But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. , and worship must shall be held in it just as it is this year
