New Assignment – Miscellaneous Writings 1883-1896

 

Thank you Julie, for the new assignment to read Miscellaneous Writings 1883-1896.  This is always a delight, with more inspiration coming with each reading.

 

I have started on that assignment, but I am also going to continue my delving into the Hymnal Notes.  So, this morning I have just read the note for Hymn 34.  It tells me facts about the composer, Mozart, my favourite composer.  We are told that Mary Baker Eddy was … “an understanding hearer of Mozart”.  What a delightful way to put it.

 

Last night at church a visitor mentioned the book Rolling away the Stone by Stephen Gottschalk.  I knew I had it so went on a hunt for my copy.  While searching, I came across Paths of Pioneer Christian Scientists.  On leafing through that book I came across this note which Abigail Dyer Thompson sent to Mrs Eddy about Miscellaneous Writings 1883-1896:  “The little book has come like a heavenly benediction, and each day as I read from its pages I offer up a prayer of thankfulness to God, for the blessings it is bringing to every earnest seeker for Truth, and for the faithful Mother-love which gave it birth.”

 

So, how many books does that add up to which are calling for my attention?
