COLLEGE CLOSED


The apprehension of what has been, and must be, the final outcome of
material organization, which wars with Love's spiritual compact, caused me
to dread the unprecedented popularity of my College. Students from all over
our continent, and from Europe, were flooding the school. At this time
there were over three hundred applications from persons desiring to enter
the College, and applicants were rapidly increasing. Example had shown the
dangers arising from being placed on earthly pinnacles, and Christian
Science shuns whatever involves material means for the promotion of
spiritual ends.

In view of all this, a meeting was called of the Board of Directors of my
College, who, being informed of my intentions, unanimously voted that the
school be discontinued.

A Primary class student, richly imbued with the spirit of Christ, is a
better healer and teacher than a Normal class student who partakes less of
God's love. After having received instructions in a Primary class from me,
or a loyal student, and afterwards studied thoroughly Science and Health, a
student can enter upon the gospel work of teaching Christian Science, and
so fulfil the command of Christ. But before entering this field of labor he
must have studied the latest editions of my works, be a good Bible scholar
