My Very Dear Teacher.

Was thinking of you very early this morning before daylight and thought I would write you, but I find there has been a law made As Written: mad that I shall not do it. Am determined with God’s help to break that law, so if this appears to be written with a trembling hand and by an absent minded person you will know the reason — ChemicalizationEditorial Note: “Chemicalization” is a term Mary Baker Eddy used to refer to a temporary stirring up of symptoms or process of “fermentation” as errors of various types are being destroyed. relapse or something seems to be very painful. The thought is the more I do for this causeEditorial Note: The Cause of Christian Science. and to sustain you the more I shall suffer, What a horribleAs Written:horible lie! Every one of my family have been severely attacked with various beliefs: have been kept quite busy with them, but will not cease my endeavor to defend you and this cause according to the best of my ability.

This flood of mesmarism must soon be over, “for we know in whome we have believed.”II Tim 1:11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. II Tim 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. He will carry us safely through. – May he spare your life for very many years to come that you may turn many to righteousnessDan 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. .

Oh if we might only bring Mrs Choate to see and forsake the error of her ways. All things are possible with GodMatt 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Mark 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. .

Cannot seem to think of what I wanted to write this morning, but will send this. With much love for you and the cause.

Sincerely yours.
