To this small effort let us add one more privilege--namely, silence
whenever it can substitute censure. Avoid voicing error; but utter the
truth of God and the beauty of holiness, the joy of Love and "the peace of
God, that passeth all understanding," recommending to all men fellowship in
the bonds of Christ. Advise students to rebuke each other always in love,
as I have rebuked them. Having discharged this duty, counsel each other to
work out his own salvation, without fear or doubt, knowing that God will
make the wrath of man to praise Him, and that the remainder thereof He will
restrain. We can rejoice that every germ of goodness will at last struggle
into freedom and greatness, and every sin will so punish itself that it
will bow down to the commandments of Christ,--Truth and Love.

I enjoin it upon my students to hold no controversy or enmity over
doctrines and traditions, or over the misconceptions of Christian Science,
but to work, watch, and pray for the amelioration of sin, sickness, and
death. If one be found who is too blind for instruction, no longer cast
your pearls before this state of mortal mind, lest it turn and rend you;
but quietly, with benediction and hope, let the unwise pass by, while you
walk on in equanimity, and with increased power, patience, and
understanding, gained from your forbearance. This counsel is not new, as
my Christian students can testify; and if it had been heeded in times past
it would have prevented, to a great extent, the factions which have sprung
up among Scientists to the hindrance of the Cause of Truth. It is true that
the mistakes, prejudices, and errors of one class of thinkers must not be
introduced or established among another class who are clearer and more
conscientious in their convictions; but this one thing can be done, and
should be: let your opponents alone, and use no influence to prevent their
legitimate action from their own standpoint of experience, knowing, as you
should, that God will well regenerate and separate wisely and finally;
whereas you may err in effort, and lose your fruition.
