"The world's lovers"

NATHAN A. TALBOT

Are you one of them? If so, Mary Baker Eddy puts a probing question to you: "Who of the world's lovers ever found her true?" Message to The Mother Church for 1902, p. 17; Ah, yes; sooner or later the material world is unfaithful to all of us—whether we pay her only passing attention or have cared for her passionately.

Why? Why does everyone who loves the world find himself ultimately forsaken by her? Because of her deceptive nature. No lasting relationship can be built on deception. No true love can be consistently fostered when one of the partners is false.
