I came across this profound lesson about Moses by Mrs. Eddy. It shows the integrity and meekness needed so that this Science Mrs. Eddy gave us does not become faith cure and corrupted.

“Moses would have been a necromancer, or mesmerist, had not God equipped him with the spirit of the Ten Commandments, which made him a law to himself, that was a prohibition to evil. Truth, Life and Love guided Moses, and this awakened understanding left him not a trickster, to cajole, or to wrong his race. Moses could not abuse the power that immortal and unerring Mind, not the erring and mortal, confers. Abiding by the Ten Commandments, the servant of God, commissioned to do good, cannot trespass on the rights of mind, cannot steal its treasures, or kill its joys any more than it can be a thief of material things, and a murderer. The power of Moses, of Prophet, and of Apostle to heal the sick was Christian Science, not mesmerism or the malpractice of mind that breaks the Ten Commandments, is an outlaw, a secret assassin, trespassing on the secret thoughts, and intermeddling with the most sacred rights of mind. The primitive Christians’ demonstrations of the power of Mind were limited to divine Science that should govern all phenomena, since it gives harmony to all and discord to none.” by Mary Baker Eddy from Bible Lessons and Sermonettes in Essays and Other Footprints (Red Book p. 117) Compiled by Richard Oakes

Mrs. Eddy once said of her secretary, “Calvin (Frye) is invaluable to me in my work, because he would not break one of the commandments.”

“For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:” Proverbs 6
