0.0 – Christian Science – 16 Books by Mary Baker Eddy – Bk 4 – Rudimental Divine Science – Chpt 13 – Only One School

  	    Is there more than one school of scientific healing? 

15	    In reality there is, and can be, but one school of the
  	Science of Mind-healing. Any departure from Science is
  	an irreparable loss of Science. Whatever is said and
18	written correctly on this Science originates from the Princi-
  	ple and practice laid down in Science and Health, a work
  	which I published in 1875. This was the first book, re-
21	corded in history, which elucidates a pathological Science
  	purely mental. 
  	    Minor shades of difference in Mind-healing have origi-
24	nated with certain opposing factions, springing up among
  	unchristian students, who, fusing with a class of aspirants
  	which snatch at whatever is progressive, call it their first-
27	fruits, or else post mortem evidence.

 1	    A slight divergence is fatal in Science. Like certain
  	Jews whom St. Paul had hoped to convert from mere
 3	motives  of self-aggrandizement to the love of Christ, these
  	so-called schools are clogging the wheels of progress by
  	blinding the people to the true character of Christian
 6	Science, — its moral power, and its divine efficacy to
  	heal. 
  	    The true understanding of Christian Science Mind-
 9	healing never originated in pride, rivalry, or the deification
  	of self. The Discoverer of this Science could tell you of
  	timidity, of self-distrust, of friendlessness, toil, agonies, and
12	victories, under which she needed miraculous vision to
  	sustain her, when taking the first footsteps in this
  	Science. 
15	    The ways of Christianity have not changed. Meek-
  	ness, selflessness, and love are the paths of His testimony
         and the footsteps of His flockSHOW ALL
