Letter to a Practitioner

My Dear:
I was so sorry to disappoint you last night, but it seemed impossible for me to see you today. If our visit would heal the dear lady—then I would have set aside everything for that. This incident took me back in thought to a time in my early practice when I had what seemed to be a case passing on, and I called on my teacher, and she could not give me the desired help. I was so overwhelmed with fear and grief that I went up into my attic, and the words on page 444:7-12If Christian Scientists ever fail to receive aid from other Scientists, — their brethren upon whom they may call, — God will still guide them into the right use of temporary and eternal means. Step by step will those who trust Him find that “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble., came to me, and I “turned from the lie of false belief to the truth of being” (370:2) as never before—and that dying woman was released—in my thought—as such, and she lived abundantly for thirteen years so that she did not even need another treatment during that time.
Many many times we try to take the kingdom of heaven by violence—“therefore are its spiritual gates not captured” (Ret. 79:28).



Mrs. Eddy nearly always healed instantly. Why? Because she knew that conscious Life and Love are infinite—ALL, and she did not see besides ALL a sick mortal to be made well.
I love you for your conscientious desire to see this Truth and reflect this Love, and
“Never a wish—tho’ buried deep,
But angels o’er it vigil keep.”
I know that as I rise out of material sense—I shall see all men as risen. . . .
Most sincerely,
Martha Wilcox
