While gratefully acknowledging the public confidence
         manifested in daily letters that protest against receiving
         instruction in the Massachusetts Metaphysical College
10    from any other than Mrs. Eddy, I feel, deeply, that of
         necessity this imposes on me the severe task of remaining
         at present a public servant: also, that this must prevent
         my classes from forming as frequently as was an-
         nounced in the October number of the Journal, and
15    necessitates receiving but a select number of students.
         To meet the old impediment, lack of time, that has oc-
         casioned the irregular intervals between my class terms,
         I shall continue to send to each applicant a notice from
         one to two weeks previous to the opening term.
