No one's perfect? Don't you believe it!

MARGARET B. HEFFERNAN

"Oh, well, no one's perfect" is a statement often made as an apology for human imperfections—occasioned, perhaps, by a forgotten appointment, a broken dish, or an idiosyncrasy.

"The Christlike understanding of scientific being and divine healing includes a perfect Principle and idea,—perfect God and perfect man,—as the basis of thought and demonstration," Science and Health, p. 259; Mrs. Eddy writes in Science and Health. The very basis of thought and demonstration. How important it is, then, to claim that perfection, rather than to deny it!
