WORDS OF COUNSEL

[As published in the Christian Science Sentinel of November 24, 1923]

From the January 1924 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The following letter from our revered Leader to The Christian Science Board of Directors, first published in the Sentinel of August 22, 1914, is again shared with the field because of the pertinency of its wise counsel to all Christian Scientists:—

Pleasant View, Concord, N. H.
Feb. 27, 1903.
Christian Science Board of Directors.

Beloved Students:—I am not a lawyer, and do not sufficiently comprehend the legal trend of the copy you enclosed to me to suggest any changes therein. Upon one point, however, I feel competent to advise, namely: Never abandon the by-laws nor the denominational government of The Mother Church. If I am not personally with you, the Word of God and my instructions in the by-laws have led you hitherto and will remain to guide you safely on, and the teachings of St. Paul are as useful to-day as when they were first written.
