At
the outset of my inquiry into Christian Science I was faced with the apparently unusual use of certain words, and found it impossible to assimilate the teaching which was to be conveyed.
Students
of Christian Science sometimes hamper their earnest efforts to rise above evil by condemning themselves, rather than condemning the various forms of evil which they have not yet outgrown.
The
Christian Scientist needs quite frequently to remember that the English language has been too largely fashioned under the potter's wheel of erroneous philosophical and theological notions, else he may find himself using many words, terms, and phrases which represent erroneous ways and habits of thinking.
The average reader of the daily newspaper, it is safe to assert, knows very little of the processes by which this wonderful production of the present century is made ready for the eyes of the public day after day and many times daily.
With due respect for the opinion of our critic, permit me to say that there is a fixed and impassable gulf between Christian Science and all forms of faith-cure and other agencies of the human or mortal mind.
