_Why do you charge for teaching Christian Science, when_ [1] _all the good we can do must be done freely?_ When teaching imparts the ability to gain and main- tain health, to heal and elevate man in every line of life,—as this teaching certainly does,—is it un- [5] reasonable to expect in return something to support one’s self and a Cause? If so, our whole system of education, secular and religious, is at fault, and the instructors and philanthropists in our land should ex- pect no compensation. “If we have sown unto you [10] spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?” _How happened you to establish a college to instruct in_ _metaphysics, when other institutions find little interest in_ _such a dry and abstract subject?_ [15] Metaphysics, as taught by me at the Massachusetts Metaphysical College, is far from dry and abstract. It is a Science that has the animus of Truth. Its practical application to benefit the race, heal the sick, enlighten and reform the sinner, makes divine metaphysics need- [20] ful, indispensable. Teaching metaphysics at other col- leges means, mainly, elaborating a man-made theory, or some speculative view too vapory and hypothetical for questions of practical import. _Is it necessary to study your Science in order to be healed_ [25] _by it and keep well?_ It is not necessary to make each patient a student in order to cure his present disease, if this is what you mean. Were it so, the Science would be of less [Page 39.] practical value. Many who apply for help are not [1] prepared to take a course of instruction in Christian Science. To avoid being _subject_ to disease, would require the understanding of how you are healed. In 1885, this [5] knowledge can be obtained in its genuineness at the Massachusetts Metaphysical College. There are abroad at this early date some grossly incorrect and false teachers of what they term Christian Science; of such beware. They have risen up in a day to make this claim; [10] whereas the Founder of genuine Christian Science has been all her years in giving it birth. _Can you take care of yourself?_ God giveth to every one this _puissance_; and I have faith in His promise, “Lo, I am with you alway”— [15] _all the way_. Unlike the M. D.’s, Christian Scientists are not afraid to take their own medicine, for this medicine is divine Mind; and from this saving, ex- haustless source they intend to fill the human mind with enough of the leaven of Truth to leaven the whole lump. [20] There may be exceptional cases, where one Christian Scientist who has more to meet than others needs support at times; then, it is right to bear “one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” _In what way is a Christian Scientist an instrument by_ [25] _which God reaches others to heal them, and what most_ _obstructs the way?_
