CONCORD, New HampshireAs Written:N. H., Oct. 4 '93
My dear student,

Say to all who want my address before ParliamentEditorial Note: Mary Baker Eddy’s address to the World's Parliament of Religions at The World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. to go into their bookEditorial Note: John Henry Barrows, The History of the World’s Parliament of Religions, 2 vols. (Chicago: Parliament Publishing Company, 1893) that I see the folly of doing this. The dose is too concentrated for this date and my God in signs and wonders has warned me since the newspapers devoured it of the fatal effects of the effects of parting the raimentPs 22:18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. Luke 23:34 ¶Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. John 19:23 ¶Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. John 19:24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did. . The students addresses and Presidents if allowable can all go in harmlessly

I think if the address had been properly disposed of and not given to reporters but disposed of as I directed that God would have shown me before the book went out just what to do. But now this published dose has unified parties against us in prayer that is somethingAs Written:some thing my students do not yet know how to meet in its effects. Oh! the rashness of those who disobeying His and my orders!

I demanded and obtained a solemn promise that that address should not go into any hands but Kimball's. To wait my further orders thus would have been safe and a grand good done from its being read before the hearers in Parliament.

But you who treat the sick know that the effect of that in newspapers is only to give points to the enemy and they are making use of them as they would with your patients

With love

now remember this

Do not repeat a single line in this letter. Do not let what I write confidentially to you get into other minds. But let your thoughts (and tell others of my old students to do it too) out in no personal thinking but with "peace be still"Mark 4:35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. Mark 4:36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships. Mark 4:37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. Mark 4:38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? Mark 4:39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. Mark 4:40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? Mark 4:41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

Pour oil on the wave and let this "confusion of tongues"Gen 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. Gen 11:2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. Gen 11:3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. Gen 11:4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. Gen 11:5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. Gen 11:6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Gen 11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. Gen 11:8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Gen 11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. that comes from that Fair cease at once and forever

With love
