From the July 1898 issue of The Christian Science Journal


If there is no error in Truth, there can logically be no Truth in error. The two cannot combine.

The co-partnership heretofore doing business under the firm name and style of "Good and Evil," has been dissolved. Evil retires and Good continues. The reason of Evil's retiring is, that it has been discovered that he was "a liar from the beginning."

To indulge in sin under the specious plea that it is not real in the realm of Good, is to perpetuate the sin and bring condemnation upon the sinner.

He who lends himself to the devices of sin cannot separate himself therefrom and say, "I am not guilty; 'twas not I, but the sin that was at fault." Until the sin is abandoned the sinner and the sin are one.

A grain of righteous rebuke is worth more than tons of fulsome flattery.

Profession without practice is worse than mockery—it is hypocrisy.

God is no respecter of persons. Neither is He a respecter of sin, whether personalized or not.

Sin, though unreal in Truth, is awfully real in error until overcome by the power of Truth.
