["'Cease from such utterances' "—The Christian Science Monitor, Boston, U.S.A., March 31, 1921]

Beginning on page 204 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, we read: "The belief that God lives in matter is pantheistic. The error, which says that Soul is in body, Mind is in matter, and good is in evil, must unsay it and cease from such utterances; else God will continue to be hidden from humanity, and mortals will sin without knowing that they are sinning, will lean on matter instead of Spirit, stumble with lameness, drop with drunkenness, consume with disease,—all because of their blindness, their false sense concerning God and man."

Here is a definite, specific statement to the effect that in order to destroy the error which claims that evil is a real entity, it is essential not only that we must "cease from such utterances," or cease from acknowledging the reality of evil, but we must go farther than that and unsay it and repudiate any statement of, or belief in, the reality of evil.
