By loyalty in students I mean this,—allegiance to God, subordination of the human to the divine, steadfast justice, and strict adherence to divine Truth and Love.
Retrospection and Introspection, by Mary Baker G. Eddy, p. 62.
Many come to Christian Science saying within themselves, "If I am healed, I will consecrate my life to this great work." It is a worthy and right stand, if rightly prompted. The presumption is that these earnest seekers after health, if more explicit in their statement, would say, "Should the Principle and rule of Christian Science practice be thus proven to me, through its healing efficacy, I will never turn aside from what I then know to be the Truth of Being." From the ranks of such thinkers are recruited loyal students. Theirs is an honest, faithful, trustworthy condition of thought that is ready to be healed, and it finds its just reward in the physical regeneration.
