Mine and thine are obsolete terms in absolute Christian [2]

Science, wherein and whereby the universal brotherhood

of man is stated and demands to be demonstrated. I have

a large affection, not alone for my students, but for thy [5]

students,—for students of the second generation. I can-

not but love some of those devoted students better than

some of mine who are less lovable or Christly. This

natural affection for goodness must go on ad libitum unto

the third and fourth and final generation of those who [10]

love God and keep His commandments. Hence the

following is an amendment of the paragraph on page 476

of “Retrospection and Introspection”:—

Any student, having received instructions in a Primary

class from me, or from a loyal student of Christian Science, [15]

and afterwards studied thoroughly “Science and Health

with Key to the Scriptures,” can enter upon the gospel

work of teaching Christian Science, and so fulfil the command

of Christ. Before entering this sacred field of labor,

the student must have studied faithfully the latest edi- [20]

tions of my works, and be a good Bible scholar and a

devout, consecrated Christian.

These are the indispensable demands on all those who

become teachers.
