Our Leader's Letter to the Teachers

This article was later republished in The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany: My. 251:23-252:17

General Association of Teachers.

My Beloved Students:—I call you mine, for all is Thine and mine. What God gives, elucidates, armors, and tests in His service, is ours—and we are His. You have convened only to convince yourselves of this grand verity; namely, the unity in Christian Science; cherish steadfastly this fact. Adhere to the teachings of the Bible, Science and Health, and our Manual,—and you will obey the law and gospel. Have one God and you will have no devil. Keep yourselves busy with divine Love, then you will be toilers, always distributing sweet things, which, if bitter to sense, will be salutary as Soul, and like the bee, but not the spider that weaves webs which ensnare.

Rest assured that the good you do unto others you do to yourselves as well, and the wrong you may commit must, will, rebound upon you. The entire purpose of true education is to make one not only know the truth but live it—enjoy doing rightly—and not work in the sunshine and run away in the storm—but work midst clouds of wrong, injustice, envy, hate; and wait on God, the strong deliverer, who will reward righteousness and punish iniquity. "As thy days, so shall thy strength be."
