⇉ Handshift:Mary Baker EddyCONCORD, N. H., Jan. 19 '95
Words cannot express my pleasure on reading your letter Your wisdom as a wife gives me such satisfaction Yes, by all means go with your noble husband to Florida I believe, yea, I understand that a good wife converts her husband to what is good. The exceptions to this rule are rare- I am so often pierced by this lack of goodness and common sense in some wives who are called scientistsEditorial Note: Christian Scientists that I appreciate your course I know it is a narrow path but some will find itMatt 7:13 ¶Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Matt 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. and you are one. I will see you, darling, if possible before you start. But I am more than ever now full of work While the students were rejoicing in the Temple of our GodEditorial Note: This is a reference to the completion of the building of the Original Edifice of The Mother Church., I was struggling at home
After their feast was over hundreds or fifties of letters came for me to answer, and students came to see me whom I must see to set things right, and old scores must all be brought to Mother for amicable settlement. So I hang between earth and heaven, but need time to get out my little pamphlet of Sermon and services on Jan. 6th With my regards to your husband
