spirit has led to higher ways, means, and understanding,--the
President, the Rev. Mary B.G. Eddy, at the height of prosperity
in the institution, which yields a large income, is willing to
sacrifice all for the advancement of the world in Truth and Love;
and

WHEREAS, Other institutions for instruction in Christian
Science, which are working out their periods of organization, will
doubtless follow the example of the _Alma Mater_ after having
accomplished the worthy purpose for which they were organized, and
the hour has come wherein the great need is for more of the spirit
instead of the letter, and Science and Health is adapted to work
this result; and

WHEREAS, The fundamental principle for growth in
Christian Science is spiritual formation first, last, and always,
while in human growth material organization is first; and

WHEREAS, Mortals must learn to lose their estimate of the
powers that are not ordained of God, and attain the bliss of
loving unselfishly, working patiently, and conquering all that is
unlike Christ and the example he gave; therefore

_Resolved_, That we thank the State for its charter, which is the
only one ever granted to a _legal college_ for teaching the
Science of Mind-healing; that we thank the public for its liberal
patronage. And everlasting gratitude is due to the President, for
her great and noble work, which we believe will prove a healing
for the nations, and bring all men to a knowledge of the true God,
uniting them in one common brotherhood.
