The Study of Christian Science

Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.—Paul.

"WHAT distinguishes the genuine student from the dilettante is, mainly, that the former goes directly to the source of his subject, whereas the latter acquires his knowledge from second hand, and usually third mediums. . . . It may be set down as an axiom that no religion can be understood except by a direct study of the sources of that particular religion. . . . Public opinion ought to severely condemn all utterances embodying judgments regarding religious made by those whose position lends to them a measure of authority, unless their judgments are based upon independent researches pursued by the application of scientific methods." (Prof. Morris Jastrow, of the University of Pennsylvania. See "Study of Religion," pp. 333 and 343.)
