I lovingly dedicate these practical teachings indispensable to the culture and achievements which constitute the success of a student and demonstrate the ethics of Christian Science MARY BAKER EDDY

Pray thee, take care, that tak’st my book in hand,
To read it well; that is, to understand.BEN JONSON: Epigram 1

When I would know thee . . . my thought looks
Upon thy well made choice of friends and books;
Then do I love thee, and behold thy ends
In making thy friends books, and thy books friends.BEN JONSON: Epigram 86

    And mankind from the dust;
Till time shall end more timely,
    There’s nothing here to trust.

Thenceforth to evolution’s
    Geology, we say,
