 9	TO THE NATIONAL CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST ASSOCIATION 

  	    Beloved Students: — Meet together and meet en masse,
  	in 1888, at the annual session of the National Christian
12	Scientist Association. Be "of one mind," "in one place,"
  	and God will pour you out a blessing such as you never
  	before received. He who dwelleth in eternal light is
15	bigger than the shadow, and will guard and guide His
  	own. 
  	    Let no consideration bend or outweigh your purpose
18	to be in Chicago on June 13. Firm in your allegiance to
  	the reign of universal harmony, go to its rescue. In God's
  	hour, the powers of earth and hell are proven powerless. 
21	The reeling ranks of materia medica, with poisons, nos-
  	trums, and knives, are impotent when at war with the
  	omnipotent! Like Elisha, look up, and behold: "They
24	that be with us, are more than they that be with them." 
  	    Error is only fermenting, and its heat hissing at the
  	"still, small voice" of Truth; but it can neither silence
27	nor disarm God's voice. Spiritual wickedness is stand-
  	ing in high places; but, blind to its own fate, it will tumble
  	into the bottomless. 
 
                                                                                                  page 135

 1	    Christians, and all tru...e Scientists, marching under what-
  	soever ensign, come into the ranks! Again I repeat, per-
 3	son is not in the question of Christian Science. Principle,
  	instead of person, is next to our hearts, on our lips, and
  	in our lives. Our watchwords are Truth and Love; and
 6	if we abide in these, they will abound in us, and we shall
  	be one in heart, — one in motive, purpose, pursuit. Abid-
  	ing in Love, not one of you can be separated from me; and
 9	the sweet sense of journeying on together, doing unto
  	others as ye would they should do unto you, conquers all
  	opposition, surmounts all obstacles, and secures success. 
12	If you falter, or fail to fulfil this Golden Rule, though you
  	should build to the heavens, you would build on sand. 
  	    Is it a cross to give one week's time and expense to the
15	jubilee of Spirit? Then take this cross, and the crown
  	with it. Sending forth currents of Truth, God's methods
  	and means of healing, and so spreading the gospel of
18	Love, is in itself an eternity of joy that outweighs an
  	hour. Add one more noble offering to the unity of good,
  	and so cement the bonds of Love. 
21	                          With love,
  	                                        MARY BAKER EDDY
