THE DETECTION OF EVIL

WILLIAM W. PORTER

To the Christian Scientist this query is quite sure to present itself, sooner or later; to wit, If evil is unreal, and has no power, why should it be necessary to guard against its supposed reality?

The attitude of the Christian Scientist with respect to the claims of evil in this connection is relatively that of the receiving teller in an institution of banking. The essential qualifications of the receiving teller have been inculcated through long, arduous, and progressive years of service, wherein the individual has demonstrated his fitness and ability to discharge the duties of the position. Among the duties of the bank servitor is that of attending to those who desire to deposit funds in the bank, and in the discharge of this duty he is expected to exercise constant and searching vigilance, alertness, and discernment, to the end that bad or counterfeit money be not accepted along with and under the guise of good money.
