Overcoming Criticism

ANN T. BEALS

In his age, Christ Jesus denounced some of the religious practices of the people of his day because they were so unkind, binding the people to customs that were unjust and ungodlike. He exposed the hardheartedness of the scribes and Pharisees and urged his followers to love more. At one time he said to his disciples, "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." John 13:34; This commandment is a spiritual law for all time. We cannot practice Christian Science without obeying it.

Today, with the world so greatly in need of the healing Christ-spirit, we should ask ourselves whether we are really living according to this law or mostly feeling critical of our fellowmen.
