with an imperfect sense of the spiritual significa- tion of the Bible, and its scientific relation to Mind- 9 healing, should attempt overmuch in their translation of the Scriptures into the "new tongue;" but I see that some novices, in the truth of Science, and some impostors are 12 committing this error.
Is there more than one school of scientific healing?
In reality there is, and can be, but one school of the 15 Science of Mind-healing. Any departure from Science is an irreparable loss of Science. Whatever is said and written correctly on this Science originates from the Princi- 18 ple and practice laid down in Science and Health, a work which I published in 1875. This was the first book, re- corded in history, which elucidates a pathological Science 21 purely mental.
Minor shades of difference in Mind-healing have origi- nated with certain opposing factions, springing up among 24 unchristian students, who, fusing with a class of aspirants which snatch at whatever is progressive, call it their first- fruits, or else post mortem evidence. 27
A slight divergence is fatal in Science. Like certain 1 Jews whom St. Paul had hoped to convert from mere motives of self-aggrandizement to the love of Christ, these 3 so-called schools are clogging the wheels of progress by blinding the people to the true character of Christian Science, -- its moral power, and its divine efficacy to 6 heal.
The true understanding of Christian Science Mind- healing never originated in pride, rivalry, or the deification 9 of self. The Discoverer of this Science could tell you of timidity, of self-distrust, of friendlessness, toil, agonies, and victories under which she needed miraculous vision to 12 sustain her, when taking the first footsteps in this Science.
The ways of Christianity have not changed. Meek- 15 ness, selflessness, and love are the paths of His testimony and the footsteps of His flock.
