Such fabric Ia Christian science-Th'
Scienceo Of Being--that comes today tO MI
the worlds great need. In il there IL M
rent, no tear, no loop-hole, no trap
door, through which the error MAJ
escape la II there IL no error, no wrong
no evil that needs 10 find an exit. The
more II IL inspected, and the closer II II
scrutinised the more its correctness ap
pears, and the less and less Of error
Of hook or nook or crook, Of
cavity or Granny, or imperiection OF
