In
every department of human endeavor those who make their mark have a distinct goal in view, and their efforts to reach it are characterized by definiteness and persistency.
If
humanity's concept of God and man's relation to Him, during the ages preceding the advent of Jesus, had been correct, and the teachings of our Master had been in accord therewith, he would not have met with opposition, nor would he have been persecuted and crucified.

There
is a popular belief among some of those who have not taken the trouble to inform themselves as to what Christian Science really is, that it is simply a cure for physical ills,—a sort of universal panacea for illness, into which a certain element of religion has been injected, in the way of a saving grace.
