The word "philosophy," as defined by Webster, is "literally the love of or search after wisdom." If the lexicographer had aimed to describe Christian Science, he could hardly have chosen more appropriate language.

Our critic says that "There is not a philosopher of any standing in its ranks, though it may include here and there a man somewhat able as a lawyer or successful as a business man."

Upon this subject St. Paul, the scholar, theologian, and metaphysician, has the following to say, "For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world confound the things which are mighty."
