as when the higherling fleeth because he is an hireling and careth not for the sheep.John 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. John 10:12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. John 10:13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. And because he never understood metaphysics the grandest fact of God and man and could never by his spurious teachings uplifted and purify mortal mind with the glorious understanding of the supremacy and omnipotence of mind and the nothingness of matter But think not I blame them who are ignorant of what they doLuke 23:33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. Luke 23:34 ¶Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. another deceived in her method goes in prayer to a personal God to do her work of healing when the divine Principle of metaphysics teaches us how to do our own work in christian science. the people who knew all about the science of metaphysics long before we did were persecuting us for finding Principle instead of a person and our demonstrations do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistlesMatt 7:15 ¶Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Matt 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Matt 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. Matt 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Matt 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
