As one who has been studying Christian Science for many years, you will perhaps allow me to explain a few points which may seem obscure to those who are looking into Christian Science for the first time.

Mrs. Eddy points out that every true thought, every good quality, whether manifested by man or beast, is a reflection of the divine nature. All false beliefs, erroneous theories, evil desires, are manifestations of that confused sense of things called by our Saviour "a liar, and the father of it." These false beliefs appear for a season to be true, have often the sanction of antiquity, or appear as the latest scientific discovery, but the time comes or will come when they are seen to be delusions and to pass away into the limbo of things forgotten. Thus theories once held by the learned are now known to be false by the man in the street.

The reality of matter is still for all practical purposes accepted by the world at large; the philosopher and the natural scientist may hold it unreal in theory, but they are as much at its mercy as the unlearned. Christian Science alone gives us an explanation of its nature which enables mankind to begin to get free from its trammels.
