Regarding "Mind"

W. D. McCrackan

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle

To the Editor of the Democrat and Chronicle.

Sir:—Your correspondent who signs himself "T. T. B." states some very great truths in your issue of June 22. He is expressing the teachings of Christian Science in his own words when he writes:—

"To claim that 'Mind' with a capital letter is all-powerful and infinitely good, is to claim a good deal. If Mind be 'all-powerful' there can be no power, except in Mind; there cannot even be the power of resistance in matter; there cannot even be the power of position for the lever Mind to rest upon. 'All' is a small word, but its sweep is stupendous. If Mind be 'infinitely good' all 'evil,' if there be any, must be outside of infinity, an inaccessible region. If there be no evil inside of infinity, the cost of getting rid of zero should be moderate."
