_Third:_ Persons who have been healed by Christian [1] Science are not only cured of their belief in disease, but they are at the same time improved morally. The body is governed by Mind, and mortal mind must be corrected in order to make the body harmonious. [5] A Card While gratefully acknowledging the public confidence manifested in daily letters that protest against receiving instruction in the Massachusetts Metaphysical College from any other than Mrs. Eddy, I feel, deeply, that of [10] necessity this imposes on me the severe task of remaining at present a public servant: also, that this must prevent my classes from forming as frequently as was an- nounced in the October number of the _Journal_, and necessitates receiving but a select number of students. [15] To meet the old impediment, lack of time, that has oc- casioned the irregular intervals between my class terms, I shall continue to send to each applicant a notice from one to two weeks previous to the opening term. MARY BAKER G. EDDY Spirit And Law We are accustomed to think and to speak of gravitation as a law of matter; while every quality of matter, in and of itself, is inert, inanimate, and non-intelligent. The assertion that matter is a law, or a lawgiver, is [25] anomalous. Wherever law is, Mind is; and the notion [Page 257.] that Mind can be in matter is rank infidelity, which either [1] excludes God from the universe, or includes Him in every mode and form of evil. Pantheism presupposes that God sleeps in the mineral, dreams in the animal, and wakes in a wicked man. [5] The distinction between that which is and that which is not law, must be made by Mind and as Mind. Law is either a moral or an immoral force. The law of God is the law of Spirit, a moral and spiritual force of immor- tal and divine Mind. The so-called law of matter is an [10] immoral force of erring mortal mind, _alias_ the minds of mortals. This so-called force, or law, at work in nature as a power, prohibition, or license, is cruel and merciless. It punishes the innocent, and repays our best deeds with sacrifice and suffering. It is a code whose modes [15] trifle with joy, and lead to immediate or ultimate death. It fosters suspicion where confidence is due, fear where courage is requisite, reliance where there should be avoidance, a belief in safety where there is most danger. Our Master called it “a murderer from the [20] beginning.”
