(The following concludes the remarks of Mr. Kimball at the Bloomington Chantauqua. Ed.)
Christian Science, when understood will gradually eliminate the element of mystery from religion.
Every creed purports to be a declaration of principle or truth and enjoins belief and obedience as necessary to salvation. but if the supposed principle is not demonstrable, the religion must be involved in more or less mystery, and if to know God aright is Life eternal, the effect of mystery would be opposite, and must obscure or shut out the consciousness of God as Life.
