The material body is not the likeness of Spirit; hence it
is not the truth of being, but the likeness of error ? the
human belief which saith there is more than one God, -- 12
there is more than one Life and one Mind.
In Deuteronomy (iv. 35) we read: "The Lord, He is
God; there is none else beside Him." In John (iv. 24) 15
we may read: "God is Spirit." These propositions, un-
derstood in their Science, elucidate my meaning.
When treating a patient, it is not Science to treat every 18
organ in the body. To aver that harmony is the real and
discord is the unreal, and then give special attention to
what according to their own belief is diseased, is scientific; 21
and if the _healer realizes_ the truth, it will free his patient.
_What are the means and, methods of trustworthy Christian_
_Scientists?_ 24
These people should not be expected, more than others,
to give all their time to Christian Science work, receiving
no wages in return, but left to be fed, clothed, and sheltered 27
by charity. Neither can they serve two masters, giving 1
only a portion of their time to God, and still be Christian
Scientists. They must give Him all their services, and 3
"owe no man." To do this, they must at present ask a
suitable price for their services, and then _conscientiously_
_earn their wages_, strictly practising Divine Science, and 6
healing the sick.
