"MORTAL MIND"

From the November 1895 issue of The Christian Science Journal


To none but the practiced ear of the Christian Scientist does the term "mortal mind" convey a sense of a great and crying human need and the fact of a positive limit and circumference of human ingenuity, and an impassable gulf, forever fixed between human and Divine conception; between human theories and systems and Divine Principle.

Blind as the world has ever been to the necessity and potency of a fine discrimination between the issues of sense and Soul it is not strange that all hope has been subjected to human conditions and exigencies, and that this "new tongue" should convey to deaf ears many terms they cannot comprehend.

I might almost state that next to the term "Christian Science" (the least understood and most widely misrepresented term employed by the human tongue to-day)" mortal mind" is the hardest that falls upon the callous ear. Certain it is that in gaining a full comprehension of what the term implies when Scientifically employed the world will learn the hardest, yet most important, lesson ever taught in either modern or ancient philosophy.
