A Student is in no sense a substitute in the field for our Alma Mater.
The student is not ready for this. The Author of Science and Health is teaching and healing widely through her books, and is teaching in no other way. For me to serve her at present is the sure way of doing good. She has served us many years.
Let the students heal, teach, and preach, above all, let them heal, and go on as heretofore. My post of honor will not be deserted, therefore, do not wait, expecting me to teach.
"For the strength of the hills we bless Thee,
Our God, our fathers' God!
Thou hast made Thy children mighty,
By the touch of the mountain sod.
Thou hast fixed our ark of refuge
Where the spoiler's foot ne'er trod;
For the strength of the hills we bless Thee,
Our God, our fathers' God!"
