When I read the words of our Mother in the February Journal saying she might never teach another class, a sense of keen disappointment came to me, for I, with many others. I suppose, had hoped for the privilege of her class teaching.
But when I read her Communion Address in the same Journal, words revealing the deepest, grandest facts of Divine Science, I realized that she is teaching continually all those who "have ears to hear"; and that if we would receive and understand her teaching we must "become less worldly-minded" and overcome sin. If we cannot receive the teaching which comes to us in this glorious address, we would not be able to accept it in the class. If we were privileged to study with her, would not our object be to gain such an understanding of Truth as would liberate us from the bondage of sin, disease and death? Yet in this Communion Address she gives us the very teaching necessary to this end, which she tells us is the crown of Christianity and "manumits mortals." And this is loving and forgiving enemies. How foolish it would be for us to lightly read this address once or even twice, and nurse a regret that we cannot study with Mrs. Eddy.
What hinders us from studying and assimilating this glorious teaching until it becomes the very muscle and fibre of our being, and we realize perfect liberation from the bondage of the false senses?
