To decide quickly as to the proper treatment of error-- whether error is manifested in forms of sickness, sin, or death--is the first step towards destroying error. Our Master treated error through Mind. He never enjoined obedience to the laws of nature, if by these are meant laws of matter, nor did he use drugs. There is a law of God applicable to healing, and it is a spiritual law instead of material. The sick are not healed by inanimate matter or drugs, as they believe that they are. Such seeming medical effect or action is that of so-called mortal mind.

Day 121:Leaders
Mary Baker Eddy has a few thoughts about leaders. What a wonderful reading to pray about in all kinds of circumstances.
inferior motives induce the infuriated attacks on individuals…
A mother is the strongest educator, either for or against crime.
To prevent the experience of error and its sufferings, keep out of the minds of your [protégés] either sinful or diseased thoughts.
Words to find or describe leaders
- virtue
- progress
- freedom from wrong
- receptiveness of right
- mental height
- wise spiritual guides to health and hope
- should uplift the standard of Truth
- They should so raise their hearers spiritually, that their listeners will love to grapple with a new, right idea and broaden their concepts
- seek dignity of God's laws

Three words popped out while reading: affection (that one seems to pop up often, for me), sacrifice, and obedience.
