onths, in order to do gratuitous work. She has never 12
taught a Primary class without several, and sometimes
seventeen, free students in it; and has endeavored to take
the full price of tuition only from those who were able to 15
pay. The student who pays must of necessity do better
than he who does not pay, and yet will expect and require
others to pay him. No discount on tuition was made on 18
higher classes, because their first classes furnished students
with the means of paying for their tuition in the higher
instruction, and of doing charity work besides. If the 21
Primary students are still impecunious, it is their own
fault, and this ill-success of itself leaves them unprepared
to enter higher classes. 24

People are being healed by means of my instructions,
both in and out of class. Many students, who have
passed through a regular course of instruction from me, 27
have been invalids and were healed in the class; but ex-
perience has shown that this defrauds the scholar, though 1
it heals the sick.

It is seldom that a student, if healed hi a class, has left 3
it understanding sufficiently the Science of healing to im-
mediately enter upon its practice. Why? Because the
glad surprise of suddenly regained health is a shock to 6
the mind; and this holds and satisfies the thought with
exuberant joy.

This renders the mind less inquisitive, plastic, and tract- 9
able; and deep systematic thinking is impracticable until
this impulse subsides.

This was the principal reason for advising diseased 12
people not to enter a class. Few were taken besides inva-
lids for students, until there were enough practitioners to
fill in the best possible manner the department of healing. 15
Teaching and healing should have separate departments,
and these should be fortified on all sides with suitable and
thorough guardianship and grace. 18

Only a very limited number of students can advanta-
geously enter a class, grapple with this subject, and well
assimilate what has been taught them. It is impossible 21
to teach thorough Christian Science to promiscuous and
large assemblies, or to persons who cannot be addressed
individually, so that the mind of the pupil may be dissected 24
more critically than the body of a subject laid bare for
anatomical examination.
