Have you changed your instructions as to the right way of meeting malicious mental malpractice?
I have not; and this important fact must be, and already is, apprehended by those who understand my instructions on this question. Christian Science demands both Law and Gospel, in order to demonstrate healing. I have taught them both, in this demonstration, and with signs following. They are a unit in restoring the equipoise of mind and body, and in balancing man's account with his Maker. The sequence proves that strict adherence to one is inadequate to compensate for the absence of the other, since both constitute the Divine Law of healing.
The Jewish religion, and the laws of every land, demand that "whosoever sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed." But this demand is not infallible. Its execution may be perverted by false testimony and mistaken evidence, causing the innocent to suffer for the guilty. Hence the Gospel that fulfils the Law in righteousness, the genius whereof is displayed in the surpassing wisdom of these words of the New Testament, "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." No possible injustice lurks in this mandate, and no human misjudgment can pervert it; for the offender alone suffers, and always according to divine decree. This sacred, solid precept is verified in all directions in Mind-healing, and is supported in the Scripture by parable and proof.
