SCIENCE OF MIND-HEALING


The rule of divinity is golden; to be wise and true rejoices every heart.
But evil influences waver the scales of justice and mercy. No personal
considerations should allow any root of bitterness to spring up between
Christian Scientists, nor cause any misapprehension as to the motives of
others. We must love our enemies, and continue to do so unto the end. By
the love of God we can cancel error in our own hearts, and blot it out of
others.

Sooner or later the eyes of sinful mortals must be opened to see every
error they possess, and the way out of it; and they will "flee as a bird to
your mountain," away from the enemy of sinning sense, stubborn will, and
every imperfection in the land of Sodom, and find rescue and refuge in
Truth and Love.

Every loving sacrifice for the good of others is known to God, and the
wrath of man cannot hide it from Him. God has appointed for Christian
Scientists high tasks, and will not release them from the strict
performance of each one of them. The students must now fight their own
battles. I recommend that Scientists draw no lines whatever between one
person and another, but think, speak, teach, and write the truth of
Christian Science without reference to right or wrong personality in this
field of labor. Leave the distinctions of individual character and the
discriminations and guidance thereof to the Father, whose wisdom is
unerring and whose love is universal.

We should endeavor to be long-suffering, faithful, and charitable with all.
