POISON

From the June 1887 issue of The Christian Science Journal

The School Journal


Druggists are required to label deadly drugs with the word Poison....But are not mental and moral poison far more hurtful than physical?

Money is trash, character is gold; but what words can express the value of Soul?...Whatever kills the moral and intellectual character of the young is so much worse than arsenic or prussic acid, that no words can express the difference.... if a book is deadly in its effects, let Poison be printed on the cover,...that all may know what they are buying.

We would have Death put over the street-door of every saloon, and Life over every schoolroom where good teaching is found.

[Whether schools are thus labelled or not, their teaching is just as effective, for good or for evil.]
