Christian Science may be sold in the shambles. Many [25] are bidding for it,—but are not willing to pay the price. Error is vending itself on trust, well knowing the will- ingness of mortals to buy error at par value. The Reve- lator beheld the opening of this silent mental seal, and heard the great Red Dragon _whispering_ that “no man [30] might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” [Page 270.] We are in the Valley of Decision. Then, let us take [1] the side of him who “overthrew the tables of the money- changers, and the seats of them that sold doves,”—of such as barter integrity and peace for money and fame. What artist would question the skill of the masters in [5] sculpture, music, or painting? Shall we depart from the example of the Master in Christian Science, Jesus of Nazareth,—than whom mankind hath no higher ideal? He who demonstrated his power over sin, disease, and death, is the master Metaphysician. [10] To seek or employ other means than those the Master used in demonstrating Life scientifically, is to lose the priceless knowledge of his Principle and practice. He said, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His right- eousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” [15] Gain a pure Christianity; for that is requisite for heal- ing the sick. Then you will need no other aid, and will have full faith in his prophecy, “And there shall be one fold, and one shepherd;” but, the Word must abide in us, if we would obtain that promise. We cannot depart [20] from his holy example,—we cannot leave Christ for the schools which crucify him, and yet follow him in heal- ing. Fidelity to his precepts and practice is the only pass- port to his power; and the pathway of goodness and greatness runs through the modes and methods of God. [25] “He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.” Compounds Homœopathy is the last link in material medicine. The next step is Mind-medicine. Among the foremost [Page 271.] virtues of homœopathy is the exclusion of compounds [1] from its pharmacy, and the attenuation of a drug up to the point of its disappearance as matter and its manifesta- tion in effect as a thought, instead of a thing. Students of Christian Science (and many who are not [1] students) understand enough of this to keep out of their heads the notion that compounded metaphysics (so-called) is, or can be, Christian Science,—that rests on oneness; one cause and one effect. They should take our magazine, work for it, write for [10] it, and read it. They should eschew all magazines and books which are less than the best. “Choose you this day whom ye will serve.” Cleanse your mind of the cobwebs which spurious “compounds” engender. Before considering a subject that is unworthy [15] of thought, take in this axiomatic truism: “Trust her not, she’s fooling thee;” and Longfellow is right.
