Instead of Christian Science denying that the Bible is inspired, it makes the spiritual truths contained in this Book of books the fundamental basis of its teaching.
Christian Scientists recognize that their one supreme endeavor should be to lessen the sum total of human misery, want, and woe, and they well know that this can be accomplished only through an exact, scientific knowledge of God and His divine Christ.
To those students of Christian Science who find themselves confronted by what seem to be insurmountable difficulties, there may be found much comfort in the thought of the spiritual advantage to be gained under such circumstances, for the more difficult the material condition may seem, the more obvious is the need of greater spiritual understanding; the darker the way the more need of light.
The writer does not for a moment think that our clerical critic and others who are following the evangelistic calling are wilfully misrepresenting Christian Science, but rather that their utterances and illustrations arise from ignorance as to the teachings of Christian Science; and if this be true, this ignorance extends to a failure to grasp the message left by of Nazareth.
