It
has often been said by some who have been in Christian Science a little while, "If I could only be in company with some real good Christian Scientists, how much more easily I could work out my salvation!" Neither you nor I, however, can ever get away from the fact that we have our own salvation to work out "with fear and trembling," as Paul says.
It
is doubtful whether changes so momentous, so full of import and significance as those which are now overturning material theories, beliefs, and practices, ever before took place in material history.
Charles E. Heitman, Committee on Publication for the State of New York,
Christian Science does not heal by means of psychotherapy or autosuggestion; and no more does it require, as is the case with Coueism, the constant repetition of specially formulated phrases by those who turn to it for help.
IT
is often remarked by those who have not taken up the study of Christian Science, and even by those who have in a small measure, that the commandment which Christ Jesus emphasized, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," is an exceedingly difficult one to keep, and even to understand in the light of ordinary human experience.
