'4i~. 4AAGil IAi oAoos'9olIi, Wy d mental NdQQ-
to-hand encounter, until envy and jeal-
ousy have retreated before the Word of
God,-omnipotent Truth and Love. My
books will be read by the future
struggler for an immortal conscious
ness, and Christian Scientists will learn,
that only by rejecting Truth and Love
to the mental assassin, can they Demon
strate the teaching Of Christ Jesus and
Mary Baker Eddy, III health, happiness,
and immortality. Mrs Eddy knew that
had never failed to follow her instruc-
tons as to self-defense, meeting the foe
with the weapons of Truth and Love, as
surfing them that they were the chill
dren Of God and that impersonal evil
could not use them as channels, to pre-
vent true brotherly cooperation be-
tween them and me, in the great work
of establishing Christ's kingdom on
earth.
The question which your present let
ter raises between myself and nv
spiritually illulnined students on the
one hand, and you and your adherents
now in control Of First Church on the
other hand, as to which of us is truly
building ION q wholly spiritual founda-
ton, must be left to be determined by
the progress Of events but if your con-
cept of building spiritually, which you
avoW that you are "loyaly. honestly
and meekly striving to do includes
the erection Of structure that would
shut of your neighbours enjoyment Of
light and air, damage her property,
violate the agreement under which she
purchased her land from a former
board OF trustees, and that would GER
talnly be characterized by the public
as q spite wall, then am confident that
even non-Scientists can safely be
trusted TO form q correct judgment as.
to which Of US is in truth building "on
a wholly spiritual foundation in
obedience to Mrs Eddy's request. and
in conformity with the teaching of
Christ Love thy neighbor as myself"
7 further quote from your letter
the following:
Owe believe that every Christ
ian Scientist would rejoice to learn
that you had needed the admoni-
ton of our beloved Leader,
Mary Baker Eddy, to you, as ex-
pressed in her letter of July 23rd,
1909, found on page $50 of Mis-
cellany, and as follows:
My dear student:
Awake and arise from this
temptation produced by animal
magnetism upon yourself, allowing
your students to defy you and
me. Treat yourself for it and get
your students to help you rise out
of it. It will be your destruction
if you do not do this. Answer this
letter Immediately
As ever. lovingly your teacher,
MARY BAKER EDDY"
The materialists have never under
stood her letter to mo, awake and
arise which you quote This letter
has ever been a trumpet call to me TO
awake and arise to constantly higher
spiritual demands. | have never
shrunk from its imperative command,
and have fearlessly met any tempta-
tion that animal magnetism has
brought to bear upon me in the form
of subtle idolatry on the part of my
students. My Leaders clear spiritual
perception saved me from impending
destruction, or loss Of my spiritual
power in q dark hour, when the enemy
Of good was trying to separate me
from her, as she was about to rise be-
You'd my human sight. It required the
spiritual vision of an Elisha to cry out
as | did: Neither height, nor depth,
nor any other creature, shall be able
to separate me from the love Of God,
which is in Christ Jesus and in my
Leader, Mary Baker Eddy"
BY her letter, "Awake and arise"
Mrs. Eddy meant that she desired me
to follow her out Of material organiza-
ton, and not to let my uldestroyed
human love cling to my weak students,
who We're not ready to leave their ma

leaden weight Of the weak and vacil-

awhile longer in the material senses,

In venturing out into the depths, to
help my students Who were not ready
to begin to "build. on wholly
spiritual foundation" was in danger.

me to leave them alone, and be rot
