Editor Journal: My reply to the questions of "A Seeker": —There are teachers, and teachers; those having gifts of teaching differing according to the grace given them. In Christian Science, all should stand together solidly on the Rock on which the Church of Christ (Scientist), is built.
Thousands have been born into the Kingdom through the teaching of Science and Health though personally unknown to its Author. Some of her students have many earnest, loving students. Is it not right that these students should look to their teacher as a guide and way-shower in the Science? How can the student darken his understanding by a continuous drinking in of the Truth from the well-spring of the teacher? This need not be, and in fact is not, personality. Did not Jesus keep his beloved disciples ever about him?
One teacher teaches students to "work out their own salvation with fear and trembling." Yet they do not forsake the teacher; but are always rejoiced to come together and obtain new Light to guide them on their way. They thus grow in the realization of Truth, and quicker demonstration. It is not the personality of the teacher that holds together the students; but the Christian Love that is seen and manifested in every word and action.
