Numberless honest, upright people are burdened with the argument that God creates evil, or else works through evil, and in "Bitter-Sweet," by Holland, Ruth says,—
He
who comes to a Christian Scientist in trouble, in sickness, or in doubt, who makes a personal appeal for sympathy, does not go away with the "cold assertion, 'Nothing ails you'".
In
every gathering of people, though there may be many differences of opinion, of temperament, of inherited tastes and aptitudes, yet there is a certain surprising unanimity as well.
Christian Science is the religion of Jesus Christ, because it is founded upon and exemplifies his word and works; because in so doing, it heals both sin and sickness by one and the same spiritual method; because it gives God all power and presence and glory, and as the Science is understood and applied, it increasingly reveals the paucity, poverty, and impotence of sin and sorrow; because it relies upon neither the wit nor the wisdom of any man.
