To the students whom I have not seen that ask, “May [1] I call you mother?” my heart replies, _Yes_, if you are doing God’s work. When born of Truth and Love, we are all of one kindred. The hour has struck for Christian Scientists to do their [5] own work; to appreciate the signs of the times; to dem- onstrate self-knowledge and self-government; and to demonstrate, as this period demands, over all sin, disease, and death. The dear ones whom I would have great pleasure in instructing, know that the door to my teaching [10] was shut when my College closed. Again, it is not absolutely requisite for some people to be taught in a class, for they can learn by spiritual growth and by the study of what is written. Scarcely a moiety, compared with the whole of the Scriptures and [15] the Christian Science textbook, is yet assimilated spirit- ually by the most faithful seekers; yet this assimilation is indispensable to the progress of every Christian Scientist. These considerations prompt my answers to the above questions. Human desire is inadequate to adjust the [20] balance on subjects of such earnest import. These words of our Master explain this hour: “What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.” My sympathies are deeply enlisted for the students of students; having already seen in many instances their [25] talents, culture, and singleness of purpose to uplift the race. Such students should not pay the penalty for other people’s faults; and divine Love will open the way for them. My soul abhors injustice, and loves mercy. St. John writes: “Whom God hath sent speaketh [30] the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by meas- ure unto him.” [Page 318.] My Students And Thy Students Mine and thine are obsolete terms in absolute Christian [2] Science, wherein and whereby the universal brotherhood of man is stated and demands to be demonstrated. I have a large affection, not alone for my students, but for thy [5] students,—for students of the second generation. I can- not but love some of those devoted students better than some of mine who are less lovable or Christly. This natural affection for goodness must go on _ad libitum_ unto the third and fourth and final generation of those who [10] love God and keep His commandments. Hence the following is an amendment of the paragraph on page 47(6) of “Retrospection and Introspection”:— Any student, having received instructions in a Primary class from me, or from a loyal student of Christian Science, [15] and afterwards studied thoroughly “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” can enter upon the gospel work of teaching Christian Science, and so fulfil the command of Christ. Before entering this sacred field of labor, the student must have studied faithfully the latest edi- [20] tions of my works, and be a good Bible scholar and a devout, consecrated Christian. These are the indispensable demands on all those who become teachers. Unseen Sin
