This chapter #3 is comprised of 90 questions and answers.

3	    How shall we demean ourselves towards the students
  	of disloyal students? And what about that clergyman's
  	remarks on "Christ and Christmas"? 

 6	    From this question, I infer that some of my students
  	seem not to know in what manner they should act towards
  	the students of false teachers, or such as have strayed
 9	from the rules and divine Principle of Christian Science. 
  	The query is abnormal, when "precept upon precept;
  	line upon line" are to be found in the Scriptures, and in
12	my books, on this very subject. 
  	    In Mark, ninth chapter, commencing at the thirty-
  	third verse, you will find my views on this subject; love
15	alone is admissible towards friend and foe. My sym-
  	pathies extend to the above-named class of students more
  	than to many others. If I had the time to talk with all
18	students of Christian Science, and correspond with them,
  	I would gladly do my best towards helping those un-
  	fortunate seekers after Truth whose teacher is straying
21	from the straight and narrow path. But I have not mo-
  	ments enough in which to give to my own flock all the
  	time and attention that they need, — and charity must
24	begin at home. 
  	    Distinct denominational and social organizations and
  	societies are at present necessary for the individual,
27	and for our Cause. But all people can and should be
  	just, merciful; they should never envy, elbow, slander,
  	hate, or try to injure, but ...always should try to bless their
30	fellow-mortals.

1	ments on my illustrated poem, I will say:  It is the righteous
  	prayer that avails with God. Whatever is wrong will
 3	receive its own reward. The high priests of old caused
  	the crucifixion of even the great Master; and thereby
  	they lost, and he won, heaven. I love all ministers and
 6	ministries of Christ, Truth. 
  	    All clergymen may not understand the illustrations
  	in "Christ and Christmas;" or that these refer not to
 9	personality, but present the type and shadow of Truth's
  	appearing in the womanhood as well as in the manhood
  	of God, our divine Father and Mother.
