Questions and Answers

A Student, D. F. M.

Is it necessary or wise for Christian Scientists to purchase and read literature containing attacks upon Christian Science or our Leader in order to know how to handle the error?—A Student.

We cannot be the conscience for individual Scientists. We simply suggest two thoughts by way of counter-question:—

Is it necessary to fill our minds with error in order to handle it? Is it not better to keep them full of Truth?

Can you think of any greater encouragement for attacks than a liberal patronage of the periodicals publishing them?

If they sell thousands to Scientists, why, as a purely financial scheme, should they not make a business of it?

Think of this, please.

Is the divine Mind conscious that the individual real man has any consciousness of the divine Mind?—D. F. M.

Mind, God, is the source of all true consciousness. The individual, real man is the idea of divine Mind. God knows His ideas and must know all that they are conscious of. If man were conscious of that which God knows not, God would not be infinite but finite. Since God is the source of all true being, He is conscious of all that being includes.
