MARK records that Christ Jesus said (16:17), "These signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues."
Mrs. Eddy says in "Christian Healing" (p. 7): "'The new tongue' is the spiritual meaning as opposed to the material. It is the language of Soul instead of the senses; it translates matter into its original language, which is Mind, and gives the spiritual instead of the material signification."
When he is studying a foreign language, one is told to think as well as to speak in that language. This requires a thorough understanding of the language. Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy is the Christian Science textbook, which enables one to comprehend the human language and its translation into the spiritual tongue.
