A Precision Religion

CHARLES WILLIAM FELBER

In the tool and die industry accuracy is a must. The making of identical parts is known as precision work. In achieving the goal of accuracy a diemaker must learn to work to the close tolerances demanded by industry.

Likewise Mrs. Eddy demands accuracy of her followers. She writes, "If this Science has been thoroughly learned and properly digested, we can know the truth more accurately than the astronomer can read the stars or calculate an eclipse."^{Science and Health, pp. 84-85;}

Christian Science treatment, also known as prayer, is ideally spiritually scientific "precision work." It recognizes the law of God, good, and denies that there is any power capable of separating man from his real Parent, God. I have come to see a helpful comparison between the work I was doing as a tool and die maker and the giving of a Christian Science treatment.
