Our great Master administered to his disciples the [25] Passover, or last supper, without this prerogative being conferred by a visible organization and ordained priest- hood. His spiritually prepared breakfast, after his resurrection, and after his disciples had left their nets to follow him, is the spiritual communion which Chris- [30] [Page 91.] tian Scientists celebrate in commemoration of the Christ. [1] This ordinance is significant as a type of the true worship, and it should be observed at present in our churches. It is not indispensable to organize materially Christ’s church. It is not absolutely necessary to ordain pas- [5] tors and to dedicate churches; but if this be done, let it be in concession to the period, and not as a per- petual or indispensable ceremonial of the church. If our church is organized, it is to meet the demand, “Suffer it to be so now.” The real Christian compact [10] is love for one another. This bond is wholly spiritual and inviolate. It is imperative, at all times and under every cir- cumstance, to perpetuate no ceremonials except as types of these mental conditions,—remembrance and [15] love; a real affection for Jesus’ character and example. Be it remembered, that all types employed in the ser- vice of Christian Science should represent the most spir- itual forms of thought and worship that can be made visible. [20] _Should not the teacher of Christian Science have our_ _textbook, __“__Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,__”_ _in his schoolroom and teach from it?_ I never dreamed, until informed thereof, that a loyal student did not take his textbook with him into the class- [25] room, ask questions from it, answer them according to it, and, as occasion required, read from the book as au- thority for what he taught. I supposed that students had followed my example, and that of other teachers, sufficiently to do this, and also to require their pupils to [30] study the lessons before recitations. [Page 92.] To omit these important points is anomalous, con- [1] sidering the necessity for understanding Science, and the present liability of deviating from Christian Science. Centuries will intervene before the statement of the inex- haustible topics of that book become sufficiently under- [5] stood to be absolutely demonstrated. The teacher of Christian Science needs continually to study this textbook. His work is to replenish thought, and to spiritualize human life, from this open fount of Truth and Love.
