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

6	    Do all who at present claim to be teaching Christian
  	Science, teach it correctly? 

  	    By no means:  Christian Science is not sufficiently un-
 9	derstood for that. The student of this Science who under-
  	stands it best, is the one least likely to pour into other
  	minds a trifling sense of it as being adequate to make safe
12	and successful practitioners. The simple sense one gains
  	of this Science through careful, unbiased, contemplative
  	reading of my books, is far more advantageous to the
15	sick and to the learner than is or can be the spurious
  	teaching of those who are spiritually unqualified. The
  	sad fact at this early writing is, that the letter is gained
18	sooner than the spirit of Christian Science:  time is re-
  	quired thoroughly to qualify students for the great ordeal
  	of this century. 
21	    If one student tries to undermine another, such sinister
  	rivalry does a vast amount of injury to the Cause. To
  	fill one's pocket at the expense of his conscience, or to
24	build on the downfall of others, incapacitates one to
  	practise or teach Christian Science. The occasional tem-
  	porary success of such an one is owing, in part, to the im-
27	possibility for those unacquainted with the mighty Truth
  	of Christian Science to recognize, as such, the barefaced
  	errors that are taught — and the damaging effects these
30	leave on the practice of the learner, on the Cause, and
  	on the health of the community.

 1	    Honest students speak the truth "according to the
  	pattern showed to thee in the mount," and live it:  these
 3	are not working for emoluments, and may profitably
  	teach people, who are ready to investigate this subject,
  	the rudiments of Christian Science.
