fold, and one shepherd;" but, the Word must abide in
us, if we would obtain that promise. We cannot depart [20]
from his holy example,--we cannot leave Christ for the
schools which crucify him, and yet follow him in heal-

greatness runs through the modes and methods of God. [25]

Compounds

Homoeopathy is the last link in material medicine.
The next step is Mind-medicine. Among the foremost

Students of Christian Science (and many who are not [1]
students) understand enough of this to keep out of their
heads the notion that compounded metaphysics (so-called)
is, or can be, Christian Science,--that rests on oneness;
one cause and one effect.

They should take our magazine, work for it, write for [10]

engender. Before considering a subject that is unworthy [15]
of thought, take in this axiomatic truism: "Trust her
not, she's fooling thee;" and Longfellow is right.

Close Of The Massachusetts Metaphysical College

Much is said at this date, 1889, about Mrs. Eddy's [20]
Massachusetts Metaphysical College being the only
chartered College of Metaphysics. To make this plain,
the Publishing Committee of the Christian Scientist
Association has published in the _Boston Traveler_ the
following:-- [25]

"To benefit the community, and more strongly mark
the difference between true and false teachers of mental
healing, the following history and statistics are officially
submitted:--

"Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy obtained a college charter [1]
in January, 1881, with all the rights and privileges per-
taining thereunto (_including the right to grant degrees_)
under Act of 1874, Chapter 375, Section 4.

"This Act was _repealed_ from and after January 31, [5]
1882. Mrs. Eddy's grant for a college, for metaphysical
purposes _only_, is the first on record in history, and no
