"Wise as serpents"

MAURICE W. HASTIE

Admirable qualities, such as purity, goodness, innocence, inoffensiveness, kindness, justice, and so forth, every earnest student of Christian Science endeavors to express. They are worthy qualities, and bring the possessor rich rewards in terms of peace, joy, and serenity.
