t know hereafter." My sympathies are deeply enlisted for the students of students; having already seen in many instances their [25] talents, culture, and singleness of purpose to uplift the race. Such students should not pay the penalty for other people's faults; and divine Love will open the way for them. My soul abhors injustice, and loves mercy. St. John writes: "Whom God hath sent speaketh [30] the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by meas- ure unto him." [Page 318.] My Students And Thy Students Mine and thine are obsolete terms in absolute Christian [2] Science, wherein and whereby the universal brotherhood of man is stated and demands to be demonstrated. I have a large affection, not alone for my students, but for thy [5] students,--for students of the second generation. I can- not but love some of those devoted students better than some of mine who are less lovable or Christly. This natural affection for goodness must go on _ad libitum_ unto the third and fourth and final generation of those who [10] love God and keep His commandments.

These are the indispensable demands on all those who become teachers. Unseen Sin Two points of danger beset mankind; namely, making [26] sin seem either too large or too little: if too large, we [Page 319.] are in the darkness of all the ages, wherein the true sense [1] of the unity of good and the unreality of evil is lost. If good is God, even as God is good, then good and evil can neither be coeval nor coequal, for God is All-in- all. This closes the argument of aught besides Him, aught [5] else than good. If the sense of sin is too little, mortals are in danger of not seeing their own belief in sin, but of seeing too keenly their neighbor's. Then they are beset with egotism and hypocrisy. Here Christian Scientists must [10] be m
