Lec-
tures in public are needed, but they must be subordinate 6
to thorough class instruction in any branch of education.
None with an imperfect sense of the spiritual significa-
tion of the Bible, and its scientific relation to Mind- 9
healing, should attempt overmuch in their translation of
the Scriptures into the "new tongue;" but I see that
some novices, in the truth of Science, and some impostors are 12
committing this error.
_Is there more than one school of scientific healing?_
In reality there is, and can be, but one school of the 15
Science of Mind-healing. Any departure from Science is
an irreparable loss of Science. Whatever is said and
written correctly on this Science originates from the Princi- 18
ple and practice laid down in Science and Health, a work
which I published in 1875. This was the first book, re-
corded in history, which elucidates a pathological Science 21
purely mental.
Minor shades of difference in Mind-healing have origi-
nated with certain opposing factions, springing up among 24
unchristian students, who, fusing with a class of aspirants
which snatch at whatever is progressive, call it their first-
fruits, or else _post mortem_ evidence. 27
A slight divergence is fatal in Science. Like certain 1
Jews whom St. Paul had hoped to convert from mere
motives of self-aggrandizement to the love of Christ, these 3
so-called schools are clogging the wheels of progress by
blinding the people to the true character of Christian
Science, -- its moral power, and its divine efficacy to 6
heal.
