I was interested in your account of that half scientist, a former patient of Dr Quimby; why Sarah, they are getting inklings of this even in the practice of the M.D.s, a false student of mine has taken the responsibility of teaching it and the result was his student went away to practice it and her first patient was not cured and she (the Dr) went into a trance when she sat with the sick! So you see our science is in danger of being "rent" and "cast lots" forMatt 27:35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. Mark 15:24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take. Luke 23:34 ¶Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. John 19:23 ¶Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. John 19:24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did. , and the more vigilance and diligence is required of the faithful and trueRev 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. I have some very promising and dear students in the field and how I pray the fatherEditorial Note: God for them none may know unless they understand this in the beauty of science
Where shall I find the "mystic suicide"? I love the Oriental lore because I know
the wise men were in the eastMatt 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Jud
æa in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
Matt 2:2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the
east, and are come to worship him. Matt 2:3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. Matt 2:4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together,
he demanded of them where Christ should be born. Matt 2:5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judæa: for thus it is written by the prophet, Matt 2:6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall
come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. Matt 2:7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what
time the star appeared. Matt 2:8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child;
and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. Matt 2:9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in
the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
Matt 2:10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. Matt 2:11 ¶And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother,
and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they
presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. Matt 2:12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed
into their own country another way.
