A. H. E. M.

From the October 1886 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The National Convention of Mental Scientists, and S warts, President of the Chicago Mental Science University, alias Spectator graduate of five lessons,—have convened! But where, and O where, is the missing man, J. W. W., who declared "the science of mind has not yet been discovered," and then, just to accommodate, called himself a Mental Scientist.

Query: "What's in a name?" Answer: Somebody has said, "Mind is the man,"—this then is in a name; namely, that a Mental Scientist is a Mental Mind —ahem! which, being interpreted, means, a mannish man; which, abstractly reconsidered, means, a "kinder" Thinker! Also, in this scientific parlance, a Mental Mind is he who elucidates the dual nature of man, whereby one man is inside of another, and groaning to get out. But the man who is inside and keeps cool and clear of his outside, discovers Mental Science, wherein the old man, or insider, ousts the new man and outsider. Now it' this erudite philosophy should "slump," alas! for "the Moses" who was to deliver the oppressed children!
