From reading the remarks of a clerical critic at a meeting in the Institute at Bromsgrove recently, one might be led to imagine that Christian Science was something quite distinct from the gospel of Christ.
The sermon reported in a recent issue as having been delivered by an evangelist, indicates that he has a wholly erroneous concept of what Christian Science is, and does not understand what it teaches.
The
complexity of thought with which the so-called human mind approaches any subject, thinking no doubt that this attitude shows erudition, is that which claims to make the simplicity of Christian Science a great stumbling-block to its comprehension and acceptance.
Each
mortal finds himself over and over again listening to the voice of the serpent, which whispers suggestions that are sometimes openly evil, more often, however, masquerading as good,—suggestions of doing "evil that good may come," of enmity on the part of those with whom one would be friendly.
