A Common
experience of the young student in Christian Science is to approach the writings of its Discoverer and Founder, Mary Baker Eddy, with a certain challenging, critical sense toward her use of words,—a trick of supposed intellectual superiority by which those ignorant of spiritual truth are often deceived; prejudice having a way, like the ventriloquist, of making its voice seem to come from a direction quite other than its real source.

The
writer has often been greatly impressed by seeing the untiring, unselfish love of a mother for her child—that mother-love which tries so earnestly to guide and protect her children.
