Reason and revelation are not the private or exclusive...

Willard S. Mattox

Hartford (Conn.) Courant

Reason and revelation are not the private or exclusive property of one individual, and Mrs. Eddy does not claim a wisdom for herself which is not equally open to all men. Wisdom, indeed, cannot be esoteric, since it is the voice which cries, "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters." A study of the personnel of the Christian Science Church will show that all classes of society and all grades of intellectual development have been able to grasp the truth uttered by Mrs. Eddy, since one does not need to be especially initiated to become acquainted with God, good. Unprejudiced observation of the Christian Science movement will convince one that it is worthy of all respect, and that its adherents are earnest, good men and women, who are doing their best, among other things, to mind their own business and to be less critical of those who do not agree with them.
