Christian Science does this. If Science lacked the proof of its origin in
God, it would be self-destructive, for it rests alone on the demonstration
of God's supremacy and omnipotence. Right thinking and right acting,
physical and moral harmony, come with Science, and the secret of its
presence lies in the universal need of better health and morals.

Human theories, when weighed in the balance, are found unequal to the
demonstration of divine Life and Love; and their highest endeavors are, to
divine Science, what a child's love of pictures is to art. A child, in his
ignorance, may imagine the face of Dante to be the rapt face of Jesus. Thus

Christ, the school gets things wrong, and knows it not; but the teacher is
morally responsible.

Good health and a more spiritual religion are the common wants; and these
wants have wrought this moral result,--that the so-called mortal mind asks
