An Allegory

Mortal man may be likened to a ship sailing on the sea of his beliefs, manned and officered by the personal senses, with self as the captain, and steering into the harbor of Christian Science, in which port all mortal-mind ships must anchor sooner or later.

At first we are inclined to look about and remark upon the contents of our brother's ship, thanking God that our freightage is not such as his. But let us attend to our own labors, and, when the task is finished, we shall be very much amazed at the class of goods that we have been carrying.
