CHRISTIAN SCIENCE IN THE WAR
Health printed in alternate French and English. I am being greatly helped every day by the articles in the Monitor and Journal and wish as many others as possible to have the same privilege.”
In appreciation of good news by cable:
“Your kind and welcome letter received a few days ago. Also your cable, and appreciated it so much—in fact, I hardly know how to thank you for your kindness. Here is a small sum for the Christian Science War Relief Fund. Would be glad if I could send fifty times this amount.”
A birthday gift to the fund:
“Enclosed please find one dollar for your work. I am eighty-four today and this dollar was given me for a birthday present. I wish I were sending eighty-four dollars.”
A corporal in France appreciates the War Relief Room:
“Enclosed in this letter is a check for $25 to be drawn against my New York bank. It is difficult to find words of appreciation for the wonderful kindness, aid, comfort and joy experienced in these rooms. They are the first hours of real satisfaction passed in France.”
“An offering pure of Love” (Poems, page 13):
“Enclosed find money order for two dollars lovingly given for War Relief and Camp Welfare work. I wish it could be more, but more will follow. I am a widow, earning my own living and have made the supreme sacrifice of giving my baby boy to his country. He passed over in the battle of Soissons, July 19, 1918. Surely, ‘greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.’ I am so thankful for the blessed understanding I have of Christian Science and love and reverence Our Leader more every day because she gave this ‘Key to the Scriptures’ to needy humanity.”
