CHAPTER VII
8/35

It would come without a murmur; come gratefully, come gladly.

And if her glory stood in more need of the money in Boston than it does where her flocks are propagating it, she would lift the hand, I think.
She is still reaching for the Dollar, she will continue to reach for it; but not that she may spend it upon herself; not that she may spend it upon charities; not that she may indemnify an early deprivation and clothe herself in a blaze of North Adams gauds; not that she may have nine breeds of pie for breakfast, as only the rich New-Englander can; not that she may indulge any petty material vanity or appetite that once was hers and prized and nursed, but that she may apply that Dollar to statelier uses, and place it where it may cast the metallic sheen of her glory farthest across the receding expanses of the globe.
PRAYER A brief and good one is furnished in the book of By-laws.

The Scientist is required to pray it every day.
THE LORD'S PRAYER-AMENDED This is not in the By-laws, it is in the first chapter of Science and Health, edition of 1902.

I do not find it in the edition of 1884.

It is probable that it had not at that time been handed down.
