General MiscellanyElection of Poor Law Guardians, December 17, 1894.
To the Parochial Electors of St. Clement's Ward,
Hastings.

Ladies and Gentlemen, 
   Nearly six years have passed since you first returned me as one of 
your Representatives on the Board of Guardians. In Hastings you were the first to make
what, at that time, was a comparatively new venture, namely: to elect a woman as
Guardian of the Poor, and I trust you have seen no reason to regret your action. It is 
always an unpleasant task to dwell on one's own performances, but in view of the present
contest, it is right that I should put before you as your Representative something of what I 
have done. I have tried, so far as time and strength have permitted, to devote myself to
the service of the poor both inside and outside the Workhouse. All departments of Poor
Law work have had my thorough interest, while the proper nursing of the sick, and the 
due care of the old and infirm have engaged my special attention. 
   I have devoted much care to the boys and girls in the Workhouse, and have
endeavoured to give some of them a good start in life, and a continuance of friendly help
when out in the world. 
   I have been able to help many of the women to earn their living outside to the 
relief of the rates - and experience has shown that useful work among these women can
best be done by a woman. 
   Effectual help to the poor means expenditure of time and thought, and women 
can often give these more easily than men. 
   I am an economist in so far that I am anxious to avoid all waste and useless
expenditure of the ratepayers' money. 
   If you are of opinion that I can wisely serve the poor and the ratepayers, and if 
you think fit to give me your votes, I will do my best to carry out your trust. 
   It was suggested some months ago that I should seek election in another Ward, 
but as you have returned me already three times for St. Clement's, I thought it would
be an ungracious act on my part to leave you now. 
   I trust the result of this Election will prove that I still retain your confidence. 
Yours faithfully, 
Sarah Mosley. 

Published by Sarah Mosley, 25 Elphinstone Road, Hastings; and Printed by Guy & Co, 82 High Street.The personality of Jesus the Christ appears to me of vital importance
to the gradual growth of the race, for two most [my]
fundamental reasons.  1st we grow through love , much 
more than through intellect [reason]. From childhood onward the
affections greatly mould - or pervert the nature, and prepare
the way for intellectual appreciations and judgments,
Now the simple[st] facts of Christ central life transmitted to us by belonging to the lowest
Class - born amongst the animals - devoted to doing good - Killed
by a jewish mob -with all their picturesque setting - and the
orignatet[?] spiritual teachings recorded - form a marvellous germ [setting]
for that development of the Universal Christ, which enables
the highest spiritualend intelligence to expand the childish
affection into the grandest universalism, without painful dislocation.
(Therefore when our good Leo[?] Rapley - as acting
president of the society declares that it is of no consequence
whether we believe in the historical Christ or not; that the
actual fact of the existence of such a person as Jesus Christ 
does not matter. I think that he grosely [misleads his 
audience, and that he should not preside longer the president of the Cloristo theophical society.)
2nd We can only think of the here after under certain
conditions of time & space which belong to our mental constitution
here - conditions which are shown even in our attempts
to annihilate them. If we believe in continued conscious
existence and ever higher growth we must believe in the
continued existence of the spiritual personality manifested through
the temporary physical form of Jesus Christ - the possibility of special
influences flowing into [those] all who strive unselfishly to promote 
the Brotherhood of the Race. I cannot but believe that they
[persons] still existent spiritual personalty of Jesus Christ
[?] still leads us to the Father - though our excellent Mr Maitland considers
this idolatry!  I do not think we are honest in assuring the name of

Again, our good friend Mr. Allen endeavours to show the fact
of degeneracy by human logic, and writes me "[You will never be able] I am sure you will not succeed in shewing that character [?] will
[?] hereafter
Yet the whole teaching of Christ as well as observation of the
operation of Law, and the knowledge of Fatherly justice,
prove that spiritual conduct here in this life affects our
human constitution and must produce its
effect when the perishable flesh disappeared. 
It seems to me that if we fail to enter into the spiritual which is Love
in this life we shall more slowly attain it in another life. We
shall be compelled to go to school again in order to train the
affections - not the intellect.
But the object of writing is to [suggest] ask whether Mr Allen's
own suggestions of changing the name of the Society, in that of
"Universalists" is not a wise one. It is an interesting idea
to hold meetings where all views may be expressed, Mr Poole,
Mr. Burrows, Mr. Maitland, Mr     May presents
very valuable ideas, interesting to ponder - but they ought not
I think to be called - Christian -

The Church of the Future. 
SIR, - The correspondence in your columns under the 
above heading refers to one of the most important subjects 
that can occupy our thought, viz., What is the Church of 
the Future, and how shall it be built up? Neither the
answer, "Use existing religious organisations"; nor the 
suggestion, "Hire a public hall for preaching and worship," 
meets the need of many earnest thinkers who regard a 
church as a congregation of men and women who, welcoming 
the light that is flowing in from the unseen world, earnestly 
desire to incarnate it in daily life. 

To those who recognize that spirit shapes form, and 
that form, thus moulded by Divine light, becomes the  
medium for ever increasing influx of light, the great question 
that presses for solution is, How to apply the truths that we 
already abundantly possess, so that our daily life, in all its 
relations, may become the medium through which increasing 
light and power may flow. 

In patiently seeking the applications of truth, no subject 
is too humble to engage our attention or too remote to   
affect the building of that church which is a congregation 
of human beings filled with the spirit of the Christ, honestly 
striving to mould their lives according to the Divine light 
granted to them. Instead of listening to the preaching of 
any man, however eloquent, we are constrained to ponder 
how those principles which we have learned to recognize as 
guides of daily life, can become actualities if that life is to 
be really honest, not hypocritical. 

The righteous holding of land; the just relations of 
capital and labor; of men and women; of adult and child; 
of master and servant; of highly gifted and poorly endowed 
natures; of the individual and the community - the solution 
of all these problems is of urgent need for the soul's welfare, 
for there is not one of them that is not intimately bound up 
with the actual daily life of each of us. 

The Church of the Future must be planted on righteously 
held land, for the earth is the Lord's, and we are only the 
Lord's trustees, and land unjustly acquired or selfishly held 
cannot support a congregation of the faithful. The Church 
must be raised by capital and labour in just relation to each 
other. It must be filled by men and women helping one 
another, by mutual service, to fulfil and transfigure the daily 
duties of life by the Divine truth that we possess, and which 
will only grow as we put it into practice. Only in this way can 
we gather together the elementary materials of a "Church." 
For this purpose no new building, no separate teacher, is 
needed. Two or three meeting together in an "upper 
chamber" to consider the solemn problems of practical life 
with souls open to the ever-living Christ, is the first condition 
for the gathering of materials for the formation of a 
living "Church."

Every stone of the great Cathedral of Humanity must be 
a living soul shaping its daily life by Divine light. 

"The Church of the Future" must be built out of the 
lives of men.

Appendix II.  A list of books dealing with Christian Truth
from a Spiritual or Mystical point of view.
The object of this volume is to demonstrate that Christianity
has a philosophy of its own just as profoundly Theosophical as
anything that can be found in any Eastern System.  It is a reply
on the one hand to the Modern Theosophical Society founded
by Colonel Olcott and Madame Blavatsky, which practically
subordinates the Christian Faith and Philosophy to Eastern
Systems (especially Buddhism), and on the other to the Non-philosophical
Christian who claims that Christianity is comprised
in the acceptance of a few dogmas literally understood, with only
a theoretical relation to life, and capable of being professed
without being practised.

The faith-that-life on earth is being shaped
To glorious ends, that order, justice, love,
Mean man's completeness, mean effect as sure
As mindness in the dew-drop-that great faith
Is but the rushing and expanding stream
of thought-of feeling, fed by all the past.
Our finest hope is finest memory,
As they who love in age think youth is blest--
Because if has a life to fill with-love.
Full souls are double mirrors making still
An endless vista of fair things before
Repeating things behind:  So faith is strong
Only when we are strong, shrinks where we shrink.
It comes when music stirs us and the chords
Moving on some grand climax shake our souls
With influx new that-makes new energies.
It comes in swellings of the heart-and tears
That-rise at -noble and at gentle deeds--
At labors of the masters artist's hand"

Which, trembling touches to a finer and
Trembling before an image seen within.
It comes in moments of heroic love,
Unjalous joy in joy not made for us--
In conscious triumph of the good within,
Making us worship goodness that rebukes.
// Even our failures are prophecy,
Even our yearnings and our bitter tears
After that fair and true we cannot grasp,
As patriots who seem to die in vain,
Make liberty more sacred by their pangs.
//  Presentiment of better things on earth
Sweeps in with-every force that stirs our soul
To admiration, self-renouncing love,
Or thoughts-like light; that bind the world in ones[?]
Sweeps like the sense of vastness, when
at night--
We hear the roll and clash of waves that break
Nearer and nearer with the rushing tide
Which rises to the level of the cliff
Because the wide Atlantic rolls behind
Throbbing respondent to the far off orbs!!g.B -1B Bedford Gdns

Dear Sir
     In consequence of the
apparantly great success of
the cure of cancer I I mentioned
in my last letter, I am constantly
asked for Dr Ross's [?]. I have
given some & have charged for
others. One gentleman would
give me a 1/2 for one & suggested
I ought to charge. [Now] So I
now charge 6 [?] for them.
     As I am desirous of pushing this
treatment, I will take any quantity,
up to 12 doz, what can you
let me have them for. I do
not want to make a big profit,
but spread the knowledge of it
far & wide.2
I have sold a large quantity
of cinnamon.  Only last week
I forwarded 10 lbs to [Cheltenhous?],
no doubt on [?] of my profit being
much smaller than the ordinary
dealers (retail) where I charge 2/6
as 3l- other charge any where up to 4/6.
& I supply the best quality.
[The brother of] A gentleman ex MP &
a customer of mine has persuaded
the medical attendant of his brother
(who resides in London) to try the
treatment.  the patient has cancer
in his stomach.  I may here [?]
I have become rather notorious for
my advocacy of heresy in the care
of disease.  Being a student of
practical hygiene & dietetics.
I am please to say number have
benefitted from my advice.
"Natural Food" for this Dec [?] [?th]
will contain a letter from my patient
under a nom de plume.

I shall also have one in, together
with mention in an Editorial.
I am indebted to the
Editor [?] a [?] for much
[?] in this cancer care.
     My patient has seen both
this medico's who operated on
him last March, & both are astonished
that he was alive.
     He has appeared before 15 medical
experts at the request of his Dr
to present his experiences & all
were evidently astonished
at his care.
Yours very truly
