  Beloved Students:—Because Mother has not the time even to read all of her interesting correspondence, and less wherein to answer it (however much she desires thus to do), she hereby requests: First, that you, her students' students, who write such excellent letters to [20] her, will hereafter, as a general rule, send them to the editors of The Christian Science Journal for publication, and thereby give to us all the pleasure of hearing from you. If my own students cannot spare time to write to God, —when they address me I shall be apt to forward their [25] letters to Him as our common Parent, and by way of The Christian Science Journal; thus fulfilling their moral obligation to furnish some reading-matter for our denomi- national organ. Methinks, were they to contemplate the universal charge wherewith divine Love has entrusted us, [30] in behalf of a suffering race, they would contribute oftener [1] to the pages of this swift vehicle of scientific thought; for it reaches a vast number of earnest readers, and seek- ers after Truth. With love, Mary Baker Eddy |
