The art of teaching has its basis mainly in the teacher's clear understanding of a given subject and the ability to elucidate the fundamentals of the subject to his students without the impress of his own personality. The study of Christian Science advances human thinking beyond the scope of the material branches of learning into the atmosphere of spiritual thought and research.
On page 195 of Science and Health, Mary Baker Eddy, in referring to human learning, writes: "Academics of the right sort are requisite. Observation, invention, study, and original thought are expansive and should promote the growth of mortal mind out of itself, out of all that is mortal."
Nothing is more conducive to "the growth of mortal mind out of itself" than the study of Christian Science. Through its teachings, earnest students catch clear glimpses of the pure and perfect concept of God and man as divine Principle and idea. Hitherto struggling faith is wrested from worldly wisdom in proportion as students learn to lean with confidence on the all-power of God.
