LETTER FROM
PAULUS
Palo Alto. Cal. Mar. 16. 1N2

Palo Alto, Cal, Mar. 16, 1921.
Dear Old Home Folks:
1t will take me long time to write
separate letters to you and we of the
our hearts are full of gratitude for the
Paulus Family want you to know that
many beautiful expressions of loving
sympathy, We have been showered
with acts of loving kindness from
friends both far and near and have
felt ourselves clothed about with IN
finite Love.
Our human sense of sorrow is al
most lost in the spiritual JOY of over
coming the belief in the reality of
separation. We have spent so much
time together in the Silence realizing
God as our ALL that we can feel no
anxiety for our dear Cornelia. This
Christ consciousness in her cannot die.
She had come with me to the place
where we could say "Yea, tho | walk
thru the shadow of death | shall fear
no evil" Only the day before her
passing she had said to a boy at the
Base Hospital that it was foolish to
mourn for departed ones. Cornelia
had been going often to the hospital
helping the boys to get knowledge
of the truth that makes free. She had
been an inspiration to them and their
expressions of gratitude have been
beautiful. AS we were walking home
from there one day we agreed that of
all the joys that had come to US in
California, the greatest had been found
there-which proves again that the
way to be happy is to make others hap
py. Cornelia and some young friends
came to hear my last talk at the
Truth Center on ''The kingdom of
heaven is at hand" and she said after
ward, 90, Mama, I am going to be
truth teacher, too
We know that death is not the gate
to heaven but neither can it rob US of
our heaven. There is only One Mind
but there are two ways of using Mind.
There is the Christ Way or righteous
ness-( (right-use-nessy and there is
The Adam Way or unrighteousness.
The Christ Mind knows that there is
out One Presence and One Power in
all the Universe-Almighty Good. Man
came through disobedience into a be-
lief in an adverse power and it is this
belief that has brought about all the
appearances of evil. Death is not a
part of Gods plan for his children
t is a mistake in working out life's
problem.
[ helped her with her bath and we
were talking about how big and ro-
bust she had grown Then as she was
all ready to get out Of the tub kissed
her saying, "Now get to bed quickly
as it is near midnight" [ stepped
into my room adjoining and was so
near that | could have heard any word
or unusual sound; but she did not get
out of the tub. Early in the morning
Elizabeth found her sitting with her
left arm pressed tightly against her
heart and little blood under her nose
There is no time for vain regrets
and mourning. We must get to work
We must let the Christ Mind in US
chat light that lighteth every man
that cometh into the world" Danish
the belief in sin and death and come up
into the Secret Place of the Most High
where all is absolute Good. Every
thought and word is either helping or
hindering the coming Of the kingdom
into the Mind of man. "a mans word
is his only burden" Then let US think
Life and Strength, Peace and Joy.
We are all One with Christ in God
and when we have become conscious of
this union we have made our atone
nent and shall be able to communi-
cate with every one in any plane Of ex-
istence. | never wanted this truth for
myself and the world as | do now Let
US all work together Nothing is too
good to be true for Gods children.
Yours for the Christ Triumph,
STELLA J. PAULUS.
