Relating to Christian Science

One writer says that "Christian
Science is both constructive of good
and destructive of evil. 1t build up an
impersonal self.reliance based upon
principle and it pulls down the strong
holds of egotism and self-depreciation.
When a man comes to realize that he
may trust himself because he is son of
God, hence governed by divine Prin-
ciple, he is standing upon a firm
foundation.
Christian Science uncovers the sin of
false modesty of self-depreciation and
shows that ii is based upon subtle
form of egotism. The belief in good or
bad personality engenders a mistaken
sense of the real man in Gods likeness.
Jesus, the most perfect man that the
world has ever seen, said, "Why callest
thou me good? none is good save one,
that is, God" Jesus understood full
we'll that the tendency of human
nature was either to defy personality
or to turn and rend it. He also knew
that the solution of life's problem was
in turning away from the body and its
cares and seeking the kingdomEof God
and His righteousness. When once we
realize that "without Him (the Word
of God was not anything made that
was made" it will be manifestly incon-
sistent to believe that man, the very
highest of all Gods creatures, could
have ever degenerated into miserable
sinner.
Christian Science breaks the mes
meric belief which has held mankind
in bondage and proclaims the fact that
