Physicians, whom the sick employ in their helplessness, should be models of virtue. They should be wise spir- 235:21 itual guides to health and hope. To the trem- blers on the brink of death, who understand not the divine Truth which is Life and perpetuates being, 235:24 physicians should be able to teach it. Then when the soul is willing and the flesh weak, the patient's feet may be planted on the rock Christ Jesus, the true idea of spiritual 235:27 power. Clergymen's duty Clergymen, occupying the watchtowers of the world, should uplift the standard of Truth. They should so raise 235:30 their hearers spiritually, that their listeners will love to grapple with a new, right idea and broaden their concepts. Love of Christianity, rather 236:1 than love of popularity, should stimulate clerical labor and progress. Truth should emanate from the pulpit, 236:3 but never be strangled there. A special privilege is vested in the ministry. How shall it be used? Sacredly, in the interests of humanity, not of sect. 236:6 Is it not professional reputation and emolument rather than the dignity of God's laws, which many leaders seek? Do not inferior motives induce the infuriated attacks on 236:9 individuals, who reiterate Christ's teachings in support of his proof by example that the divine Mind heals sick- ness as well as sin? A mother's responsibility 236:12 A mother is the strongest educator, either for or against crime. Her thoughts form the embryo of an- other mortal mind, and unconsciously mould 236:15 it, either after a model odious to herself or through divine influence, "according to the pattern showed to thee in the mount." Hence the importance 236:18 of Christian Science, from which we learn of the one Mind and of the availability of good as the remedy for every woe. Children's tractability 236:21 Children should obey their parents; insubordination is an evil, blighting the buddings of self-government. Parents should teach their children at the 236:24 earliest possible period the truths of health and holiness. Children are more tractable than adults, and learn more readily to love the simple verities that will 236:27 make them happy and good. Jesus loved little children because of their freedom from wrong and their receptiveness of right. While 236:30 age is halting between two opinions or battling with false beliefs, youth makes easy and rapid strides towards Truth.
