Dear brother Farlow;

Whenever I write you letters like this you may know they are "official,"— as the thought is given to me. Then I am to give you the thought, as nearly as I can, by putting it in my own words.

Mother wrote you only such a short letter yesterday, because she had already written & explained to you all that could be, in previous instruction to you.

It is not because you were "asleep," that you made such awful blunders, but because you were blind, blinded by the incessant malicious argument directly sent to you, as to all students, that "you hate Mrs. Eddy; she has never done you any good; you are not so well off as you were before you accepted Christian Science, etc"-

Now take yourself up for this, several times a day, and note the result.

Students must now prove that they are a law of God unto themselves, and that they cannot be influenced by evil. We must rouse ourselves and each other to keep above the possible contamination of the present worldJames 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. of lies wherein is neither God nor love and gratitude to His anointed.

With love,
Joseph G. Mann.
