Theology has for so long been concerned in devising creeds to bring the teaching of the Bible within the range of human understanding, in explanations and interpretations intended to satisfy the human mind and to transgress as little as possible its materialistic limitations and methods, that the reversal of this process demanded by Christian Science is often at first a little startling and disconcerting.

THE PATH WE ALL MUST TREAD

LIGHT was never found by searching for it in the gloom; nor was the bashful bud ever coaxed from its cloistered shelter by the lure of darkness.

FROM OUR EXCHANGES

[Churchman.
Futile striving of mere imagination in the empty air of unreal speculative dogmas and abstractions was not the method of the healing of sickness and sin by Jesus.
To the world today Christian Science is represented by an ever-increasing body of people,—ordinary intelligent people, living peaceful, sober, and industrious lives, interfering with no one; not thrusting their religion on others, but affirming that Christian Science has brought to them a measure of health and happiness they knew not before, and ever willing to help their brother man to acquire the practical knowledge of God that has had such a beneficent influence on their own lives.
I am neither a member nor an attendant of a Christian Science church, but I am an honest investigator of the truth of what it claims to teach.
Instead of using suggestion, or the control of one human mind over another, the teaching and practice of Christian Science require that directly the opposite course be followed, and that by reliance upon divine power the sufferer be made free from every sort of evil suggestion and influence through which he has been made sick.
