Dear Friends: After 30 years of continuous service in Boston for the mother church,' first, as an associate < t'itor < f our periodicals, and it member of the Bible lesson committee, and later as one of the directors of the mother church, I um now submitting my resignation as a member of your board. This will not come to you as a surprise since I have made known to you for some time my desire for leisure in which to gain more of the spirit of Christian Science, and to aid others to do the same in larger measure. This does not imply any lack in my experience in Christian Science, for assurance of the power of divine truth us gained from the Bible and the inspired teaching of Mrs. Eddy has become a certainty. I would, however, ^jpress on to realize more, fully the love that "never faileth" (1 Corinthians 13:8). The 15 years in which I have been honored in being a member of your board have been rich in vital experiences, and you mfiy be assured of my readiness to respond to any call from you to serve our cause in any way. I am, of course, deeply concerned wiUi the. progress of our periodicals, including The Monitor which links us' so closely to the whole human family, that we may thus bless and be blessed. I am also^ure that you have been divinely guided in the choice of my successor, Mrs. Nelvia E. Ritchie, whose faithful and efficient service on the board of lectureship and in other capacities in our movement throughout the years, have been appreciated by me and are well known by the field. Lovingly and faithfully yours, (Signed) Annie M. Knott. Reply to Mrs. Knott January 4, 1934. Mrs. Annie M. Knott. Dear Mrs. Knott: Your voluntary retirement us a member of the board of directors of the mother church marks the termination of a period of service in the cause of Christian Science that is memorable for a number of reasons, not the least of'which is that since the reorganization of this church in 1892 you are the only woman to have served as a director of the mother church. You have met the exactions of the office with wisdom and tact; you have, carried its responsibilities without weakening und'^without deviation from your highest sense of right; the outcome of your implicit reliance upon God's omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence. Our missing you from our deliberations will -be tempered by the knowledge that you will be close at hand in case your valued counsel and matured judgment should be needed. With sincere love, your associates, (Signed) William R. Rathvon, George Wendell Adams, Charles E. Heitman, William P. McKenzie. Mrs. Ritchie's Services Mrs. Nelvia K.
