As we are reading Pulpit and Press this month, the following letter, which mentions those two institutions, will be of interest to book club readers:
"Undoubtedly "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" is the greatest and grandest book ever published; and that by pulpit and press it will be so acknowledged, is only a question of time. Yours has, indeed, been a pioneer work, and will be; and I believe that you, of all the millions, are selected and chosen because of your peculiar fitness for this great work - this grand work of opening the gates and leading the way, that fallen humanity may follow step by step; reach up to Christ, and be made whole! That all this should be systematized and proven with mathematical precision, - that there can be no guesswork or quackery, - is simply astounding. Science and Health has given me a new impetus heavenward.
M. A. Hinkley of Williamsport Pa.
quoted in Mary Baker Eddy's Miscellaneous Writings p. 458:1-4
