RENDERING DUES

Render therefore to all their dues.—Romans, 13: 7.

From the February 1900 issue of The Christian Science Journal


In Christian Science, as in everything else, if any one fails to do his work it is an added burden to all, for the work is collective as well as individual. "But," I have heard it urged, "there are so many things to buy in Christian Science I can't afford it." There may be many items but the entire expense is not so much as is paid out many times during the year for that which is not bread.

Again, for what are we working? that we may pull down our barns and build greater, and there bestow all our fruits and goods? Read the twelfth chapter of Luke on the subject.

It is not required that we do so much, but that we do what we can, and in order that we may know what we can do, let us look backward. How much have I paid for doctors' bills and medicine since I was healed by Christian Science? Not one cent; and yet before that, these were quite an item in the year's expenses.
