Christian Science demonstrates that the patient who pays whatever he is able to pay for being healed, is more [30] apt to recover than he who withholds a slight equiva- lent for health. Healing morally and physically are one. [Page 301.] Then, is compiling and delivering that sermon for which [1] you pay nothing, and which you deliver without the author’s consent, and receive pay therefor, the _precedent_ for preaching Christian Science,—and are you doing to the author of the above-named book as you would [5] have others do unto you? Those authors and editors of pamphlets and periodi- cals whose substance is made up of my publications, are morally responsible for what the law construes as crime. There are startling instances of the above-named law- [10] breaking and gospel-opposing system of authorship, which characterize the writings of a few professed Christian Scientists. My Christian students who have read copies of my works in the pulpit require only a word to be wise; too sincere and morally statuesque are they to be long [15] led into temptation; but I must not leave persistent plagiarists without this word of warning in public, since my private counsel they disregard. To the question of my true-hearted students, “Is it right to copy your works and read them for our public [20] services?” I answer: It is not right to copy my book and read it publicly _without my consent_. My reasons are as follows:— _First:_ This method is an unseen form of injustice standing in a holy place. [25] _Second:_ It breaks the Golden Rule,—a divine rule for human conduct. _Third:_ All error tends to harden the heart, blind the eyes, stop the ears of understanding, and inflate self; counter to the commands of our hillside Priest, to [30] whom Isaiah alluded thus: “I have trodden the wine- press alone; and of the people there was none with me.” [Page 302.] Behind the scenes lurks an evil which you can prevent: [1] it is a purpose to kill the reformation begun and increas- ing through the instructions of “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures;” it encourages infringement of my copyright, and seeks again to “cast lots for his vesture,”—while [5] the perverter preserves in his own consciousness and teaching the name without the Spirit, the skeleton without the heart, the form without the comeliness, the sense without the Science, of Christ’s healing. My stu- dents are expected to know the teaching of Christian Sci- [10] ence sufficiently to discriminate between error and Truth, thus sparing their teacher a task and themselves the temptation to be misled.
