A Question

MARY BAKER G. EDDY.

This article was later republished in The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany: My. 233:28-234:14

Do Christian Scientists love God so much as they love mankind? Aye, that's the question; let us examine it for ourselves. Thinking of person implies that one is not thinking of Principle, and fifty telegrams per holiday signal such thinking. Are the holidays blest by absorbing one's time writing or reading congratulations? I cannot watch and pray reading telegrams; they only cloud the clear sky, and they give the appearance of personal worship which Christian Science annuls. Did the dear students know how much I love them, and need every hour wherein to express this love in labor for them, they would gladly give me the holidays therefor and not task themselves with mistaken means. But God will reward their kind motives and guide them every step of the way from human affection to spiritual understanding, from faith to achievement, from light to love, from sense to Soul.
