I cannot lose the opportunity for thanking our Heavenly Giver for the hope set before usHeb 6:18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Heb 6:19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; . Even in a letter I give thanks that a veteran As Written: vetran in his church has grown out of it, and is ready to join our band of pilgrims for the infinite As Written: infinit Source whence all Christianity flows. Even the spiritual march, and the spiritual armor are already began, and put on, by this faithful veteran As Written: vetran coming to cheer our ranks with the rich experience of his years. No! I did not think those figures told the time of service; I should have said ten years at least less of your age.

Give my love to my dear sisters Mrs. Metcalf and Mrs Alma We could meet and sing with the angels together over this joy in Heaven. For Christian Science is the final step that plants our feet upon the shore of infinite bliss.

With a large affection for you all I send from my solitude and workshop a cordial greeting.
