A Lesson from the Drama

From the May 1886 issue of The Christian Science Journal


In that startling play called A Parisian Romance, in which Richard Mansfield acts so wonderfully, the played-out Baron drops in a fatal fit of paralysis, while he is proposing a pledge "to Divine Matter, that flows in the veins, sparkles in the champagne, glows in the cheek of beauty." Not only is the portrayal a terrible rebuke to license, but it represents the very opposite of the views of Christian Science—the lie of Life in matter, or of Divinity in body.
