Meeting Error as Its Master

GEORGE H. READ

ARE we tempted at times to stand in awe of some problem that confronts us, perhaps temporizing with the seeming difficulty in our mental arguments, convinced that victory will eventually be gained, but reconciled to the belief that we must submit temporarily to error's rule?

Possibly we have excused our subservience to error in what we believe to be a "suffer it to be so now" attitude, overlooking the fact that Jesus' use of those words was not to condone or excuse evil of any kind, but merely to approve and partake of a religious ceremony which both he and John the Baptist knew would later give way to a higher form of expression.

There can be great comfort and encouragement to every student of Christian Science in the fact that Mary Baker Eddy makes no reservations in her statement in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 419), "Meet every adverse circumstance as its master."
