Christian Science
teaches that the reign of Truth in the individual and in all the universe is also the reign of beauty, for "beauty, as well as truth, is eternal;" that the divine ideas are ever presented in "spiritual and immortal forms of beauty," and that we shall be both beautiful and grand "when governed by immortal Mind".
It
is generally conceded that a person who has an opportunity to ascertain the falsity of a statement, but fails to avail himself of it and puts forth the false statement as the truth, stands in the same relation to the public as does one who knowingly falsifies; and if this is true in general, why should a different view of such conduct be taken when Christian Science and Christian Scientists are the subjects of misrepresentation?
Beloved Students:—You have lovingly, lavishly contributed to the fund for paving the streets in Concord, in order to make smooth my daily drive, but you have done enough in this direction.
The
beginner in Christian Science is sometimes at a loss to know how he may reconcile his former views with the ideals presented in its text-book, but he soon learns, and the sooner the better, that in so far as his concepts of being are erroneous, to that extent they are irreconcilable with the truth.
We
are again prompted to enter a plea for a larger and more liberal thought regarding the lectures, and to urge that the most ample provision be made for the accommodation of the vast and ever-increasing number who wish to hear these authoritative expositions of Christian Science.
