Inconsistency

Mary Baker G. Eddy with contributions from CLARA P. WALES

This article was later republished in The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany: My. 235:1-13

To teach the truth of life without using the word death, its opposite, were as impossible as to define truth and not name its opposite, error. Straining at gnats, one may swallow camels.

The tender mother, guided by love, faithful to her instincts, and adhering to the imperative rules of Science asks herself: Can I teach my child the correct numeration of numbers and never name a cipher? Knowing that she cannot do this in mathematics, she should know that it cannot be done in Metaphysics, and so definitely name the error, uncover it, and teach truth scientifically.
