DEFINITION OF PURPOSE

From the November 1885 issue of The Christian Science Journal

This article was later republished in Miscellaneous Writings 1883-1896:  Mis. 370:19-371:25


What specimen of science is a wolf in sheep's clothing, beyond an ass whose ears stick out? What tender hearted mind-curer has discovered an improvement on Christian Science, metaphysical healing, by which error destroys error, and would gather all sorts into "a national convention" with the sophistry that such is the true fold for Christian healers, and the Good Shepherd cares for all. Yes, He does care for all, and His first care is to separate the sheep and goats, and this is the first lesson of healing taught by our blessed Master.
