Spiritual Footsteps from ch 17 - opened to this yesterday

"It is one thing to drink of the living water furnished by one spiritually endowed, and another to gain for one’s self the understanding of how to gain that living water. Yet, no one is a true Christian Scientist until he makes this demonstration. No one can call himself Mrs. Eddy’s true follower, merely because he or she appreciates and partakes of the living water she has furnished. “Go, and do thou likewise,” is the demand of infinite Love. Each pilFgrim must go to the Father, in order to do those greater works to which Jesus referred.

Any branch church of Christ, Scientist, will suffer a loss in spirituality, if the membership permits itself to allow one spiritually-minded student to carry the burden of demonstration. False peace may be the outward sign of this loss of demonstration; but such a situation stifles individual growth, and is really the blind leading the blind, where the one who leads and those who follow, are blind to the seriousness of the situation."

Great point! And this is why Plainfield church has succeeded in spite of great resistance and persecution. Nobody is allowed to dominate. Everybody is required to demonstrate, and our testimony meeting last night is proof of the fact that everyone in the church is demonstrating.
