Class instruction— a provision of compassion

"And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things." Mark 6:34.

Mary Baker Eddy writes of a healing that took place sometime around 1869. The patient's physician, "who stood by her bedside, declared that she could not live. On seeing her immediately restored by me without material aid, he asked earnestly if I had a work describing my system of healing. When answered in the negative, he urged me immediately to write a book which should explain to the world my curative system of metaphysics." The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 105.
