Members' Vault: Julia Bartlett: Faithful Follower
July 5, 2010
In 1897 Mary Baker Eddy sent Julia Bartlett a copy of Miscellaneous Writings 1883–1896 with the inscription,
“To Miss Julia S. Bartlett C. S. D.
With love, mother,
Mary Baker Eddy. 1897.”
Julia’s much loved brother had recently passed on, and to comfort her student, Mrs. Eddy had placed the ribbon marker at the poem “Come Thou” and marked the fourth verse, which begins, “Be patient, waiting heart….” Julia was deeply touched by this gesture of love from Mrs. Eddy and never removed the ribbon from that page, where it remains in the Longyear Museum collection to this day.
