Coercion Not Needed

So much does the student of Chris
ton Science appreciate the-infinity OF
the Science he has begun to appre-
hend, that he knows well it needs no
aid from him to give it impulse; ii
needs no coercion from him to bring it
to the hearts of men. He knows, more
over, that the testimony of his correct
ed life is the only thing of value which
he has to offer, and that this leaves
unmolested, unhindered, the progress
of that mental integrity which must in
Gods own way acquaint itself with in
finite Truth. To the end that the
Christian Scientist may more clearly
see his way in all these matters Mrs
Eddy writes: 1.-THE tender word and
Christian encouragement of an invalid

removal Of Them are better than heca-
