: Erroneous and harmful methods
are sometimes set before the public
and said to be the same as Christian
Science. man representing him
self to be Christian Scientist an
nounced that he would teach meta
physics Or Christian Science; he was
not, however, authorized in any
way to teach Christian Science, and
therefore, the teaching involved was
not Christian Science. A lady who
knew just a little concerning Chris
tian Science went to this man to be
taught During the first lesson she
was taught to say: 81 am Cod" She
replied, "But l am not God" She
was then told to say: II am Spirit"
To this the lady replied: "No, I am
not God! l am not Spirit! 1 am spir-
itual, and you do not know what
you are talking about" The lady
; was right, because the declarations
referred to do not coincide in any
way with the teaching of Christian
Science.
The evidences Of confusion and
the indications of wrong procedure
multiply. Sufficient, however, has
, been said in this connection to in
dictate that there is basic need of
divine Principle, of an influence in
human thought which will move
mankind in the direction of their
. highest good.
The Mother Church Manual.
Some one will doubtless say that
safeguards should be established to
protect the public against misrepre-
sensations which are made in the
name of Christian Science. The an
swer to this is, that such safeguards
, already have been provided Mrs.
Eddy long ago foresaw this need and
provided in the Manual of The Mo-
, Their Church the necessary measures
to protect and to preserve Christian
Science, it's teaching, and its extern
SION as we'll as to protect the public
from misrepresentation and adul-
, terations. Without this wisely con-
ceived protection, for which Chris
tian Scientists are profoundly CRATE
+ full, the teaching and extension of
Christian Science might soon be fill
, led with Misrepresentation, adul-
terations and human philosophy;
and thus the effectiveness of Chris
tian Science be lost. The teachings
2 Of Jesus were lost for time be-
cause these teachings were adulter-
@ ated with PHILOSOPHERS and religious
: dogma Had spiritual and right
unity with respect to Jesus teach
a ings been maintained, those teach
:, ings never would have been con-
a taminated by erroneous dogma and
by multiplicity of personal opin-
> ions. In the Manual of The Mother
: Church the means are divinely pro
:, vided which will maintain the int
: gritty of Christian Science, the pur-
: ity of it's teachings, and the perma-
y nence Of it's extension.
