A Sermon preached in Chickering Hall, Boston, by the Pastor of the Church of Christ (Scientist).
Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.—Matt. xix. 17.
This is a clean, clear-cut, comprehensive statement. It is a statement that lays bare all pride, all sophistry, all mere worldly wisdom, since it goes to the very citadel of things. It proved to be most startling and unwelcome to the young ruler. It cut him to the quick — produced a chemicalization, to employ the language of Christian Science. It could not well have been otherwise, for it is just as unwelcome to the carnal senses and appetites now. It will continue to be so, till the carnal senses are destroyed.
