The Value of Class Instruction

R. S.

I HAVE often felt constrained to express my gratitude to our Leader for the class instruction in Christian Science, which she has made available to every humble, earnest seeker after Truth.

Before accepting the privilege, I was led to hesitate, and for two years I wavered, but really never stilled the desire to know that I was learning aright, keeping in the straight and narrow way; that I was holding steadfastly to Truth, being guided and governed by Principle only.

Class instruction satisfied that longing. It established my understanding, and removed, in a great degree, the fear of a possible mistake, a fear that constantly hovered over my every effort to demonstrate.

After instruction, I knew that I clearly understood somewhat of this infinite Truth, because it had been vouched for by one authorized to teach. It is our knowing Truth which frees us. Mrs. Eddy says, "Be firm in your understanding that the divine Mind governs, and man should reflect His government" (Science and Health, p 393).
