Scripture Readings As Intended By Mrs. Eddy

That I agree with that writer is more than an
understatement.

Here is a copy recently sent to me from a document a friend
received from the Mary Baker Eddy Library

Dear Mr. Wiggin,

I am astonished that when so much depends on my getting out this
book at an earlier period than this, --- and have sent word to
you by Mr. Frye1 twice that I would have no new version, or
any one, but the accepted St James version,2 that you have
in inserted another than the one I had placed in my copy.
Now this must come out, and it involves a loss to me in
consuming time that you seem ignorant of, notwithstanding
all I have entreated on this score. The expense I shall not
assume and the delay I can scarcely endure.

Yours truly
MBG Eddy


N.B.
My notes on Genesis were upon from the above scriptural version.
It changes the uniformity to go off on another one.

She refers to the King James Version as the St James version,
yet her meaning is clear.

It is exceedingly sad that our Leader's work is continuously
being dismantled, and that the importance of the uniformity of
tone in the Bible Lessons is of late altogether ignored.
