tution, like the baptism of Jesus, of which he said,
"Suffer it to be so now," though the teaching was a purely
spiritual and scientific impartation of Truth, whose Christly
spirit has led to higher ways, means, and understanding,--the
President, the Rev. Mary B.G. Eddy, at the height of prosperity
in the institution, which yields a large income, is willing to

Christian Science is spiritual formation first, last, and always,
while in human growth material organization is first; and
WHEREAS, Mortals must learn to lose their estimate of the
powers that are not ordained of God, and attain the bliss of

only one ever granted to a _legal college_ for teaching the
Science of Mind-healing; that we thank the public for its liberal

Mind-healing, I could think of no financial equivalent for an impartation
of a knowledge of that divine power which heals; but I was led to name
three hundred dollars as the price for each pupil in one course of lessons

This amount greatly troubled me. I shrank from ask
