s kind goeth not [20]
forth but by prayer and fasting." It is materialism through
which the animal magnetizer preys, and in turn becomes
a prey. Spirituality is the basis of all true thought and
volition. Assembling themselves together, and listening
to each other amicably, or contentiously, is no aid to [25]
students in acquiring solid Christian Science. Experi-
ence and, above all, _obedience_, are the aids and tests of
growth and understanding in this direction.

To A Student

_My Dear Student_:--It is a great thing to be found
worthy to suffer for Christ, Truth. Paul said, "If we
suffer, we shall also reign with him." Reign then, my
beloved in the Lord. He that marketh the sparrow's fall [5]
will direct thy way.

I have written, or caused my secretary to write, to Mr.
and Mrs. Stewart, of Toronto, Canada (you will find their
card in _The C. S. Journal_,) that you or your lawyer will
ask them all questions important for your case, and re- [10]
quested that they furnish all information possible. They
will be glad to help you. Every true Christian Scientist
will feel "as bound with you," but as free in Truth and
Love, safe under the shadow of His wing.

Yes, my student, my Father is your Father; and He [15]
helps us most when help is most needed, for He is the
ever-present help.

I am glad that you are in good cheer. I enclose you
the name of Mr. E. A. Kimball, C. S. D., of Chicago,--
5020 Woodlawn Ave.,--for items relative to Mrs. Steb- [20]
bin's case.

"Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him;
and He shall bring it to pass. And He shall bring forth
thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the
noonday." This I know, for God is for us. [25]

Write me when you need me. Error has no power
but to destroy itself. It _cannot harm you_; it cannot stop
the eternal currents of Truth.

Ever with love,
MARY B. G. EDDY

To A Student

_My Beloved Student:_--In reply to your letter I will
say: God's ways are not as our ways; but higher far
than the heavens above the earth is His wisdom above
ours. When I requested you to be ordained, I little [5]
thought of the changes about to be made. When I insisted
on your speaking without notes, I little knew that
so soon another change in your pulpit would be demanded.
But now, after His messenger has obeyed the message
of divine Love, comes the interpretation thereof. Bu
