Thoughts touched with the Spirit and Word of Christian Science gravitate
naturally toward Truth. Therefore the mind to which this Science was
revealed must have risen to the altitude which perceived a light beyond
what others saw.
The spiritually minded meet on the stairs which lead up to spiritual love.
This affection, so far from being personal worship, fulfils the law of Love
which Paul enjoined upon the Galatians. This is the Mind "which was also in
Christ Jesus," and knows no material limitations. It is the unity of good
and bond of perfectness. This just affection serves to constitute the
Mind-healer a wonder-worker,--as of old, on the Pentecost Day, when the
disciples were of one accord.
He who gains the God-crowned summit of Christian Science never abuses the
corporeal personality, but uplifts it. He thinks of every one in his real
quality, and sees each mortal in an impersonal depict.
I have long remained silent on a growing evil in plagiarism; but if I do
not insist upon the strictest observance of moral law and order in
Christian Scientists, I become responsible, as a teacher, for laxity in
discipline and lawlessness in literature. Pope was right in saying, "An
honest man's the noblest work of God;" and Ingersoll's repartee has its
moral: "An honest God's the noblest work of man."
ADMONITION
The neophyte in Christian Science acts like a diseased physique,--being too
fast or too slow.
