This amazing book

by Joyce Voysey

Now I have completed the reading of the book.  I too have been making a list of qualities expressed by our inspired writer of this amazing book:
humility; ability to listen to God; sureness of her mission; obedience; trust; “I can of my own self do nothing”; activity; tenacity; awe; excellent student, sticking to the text; acceptance that every word of the textbook was true and infinitely powerful and demonstrable; demonstrated that she “had the Mind which was also in Christ Jesus” (see Science &Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p.467:16); having no doubts – no ‘buts’.

S&H 506:11-12 seems to exemplify her attitude.  (“The calm and exalted thought or spiritual apprehension is at peace.”)

Also, the people in Germany – how receptive they were, how industrious, how humble and with a childlike innocence.  As Robert Peel says in the third book of biography of Mary Baker Eddy: Frances Thurber Seal’s “healing work in Dresden (and, later, Berlin) ... would look in time like a chapter from the Acts of the Apostles.”  (Mary Baker Eddy: The Years of Authority p. 120)

Peel’s note at the back of the book says about the book, “This vivid account ignores the parallel work of Frau Günther-Peterson, but in other respects is a valuable supplement to the chapter on Germany in Smith’s Historical Sketches.” (ibid. Note 114 p. 415)

By golly!  Now I will have to look up Historical Sketches!  

I am not finished with this fascinating project yet!
