CHRISTIAN SCIENCE IN BUSINESS

From the October 1895 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Is Christian Science of any real value from a business man's point of view? We find Christian Scientists who have demonstrated considerably in healing the sick, asking this question. Business men generally are regarded as rather serving Mammon, than God, and in their eagerness to serve Mammon they cannot be overscrupulous as to the methods employed.

What little experience I have had in Science would tend to establish the fact that every business man should be a Scientist for his own protection and the purification of the business methods of a very large majority of the so-called business men.

It means much from a mortal mind view to assert that in all business transactions, we must be guided by Truth alone, for the world has grown to look upon so-called business lies as excusable sins. It questions the possibility of a man who is strictly honest, being successful in business. When men have become so degraded and dishonest as to question the possibility of honesty and success going hand in hand, is it not high time that Christian Scientists should begin demonstrating that it is not only possible, but absolutely necessary for real success to be honest. Can we assert for one moment that it is not necessary to be pure in our every act in business?
