Christ Jesus, the world's greatest spiritual teacher, recognized the truth of the Scriptural prophecy, "They shall be all taught of God" (John 6:45), and so he endeavored to lift the thoughts of his students out of the deadness of narrow mortal beliefs into the glow and warmth of true, spiritual inspiration. He met them on their mental level and raised them toward his spiritual stature in accordance with his statement, "Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me."
Mrs. Eddy was a true follower of Jesus and an outstanding teacher. She discerned individual receptivity and kindled the spark of inspiration in the thoughts of her students.
The teacher in the Christian Science Sunday School has the example of Mrs. Eddy before him. Her humility, strength, and love are his to emulate. According to the Manual of The Mother Church by Mrs. Eddy, no books except the Bible and Science and Health by our Leader are taken into the classes, but teachers and pupils should bring hearts receptive to Truth. Divine Principle has endless variety of expression, and the consciousness willing to receive it has already opened itself to originality.
