I Think many earnest Christian seekers after Truth have been much troubled as to the meaning of this "Day of Judgment" so often spoken of in the Scriptures, and so generally misunderstood. I can say that in my childhood it was a constant terror to me, and the more I heard of it and thought about it, the deeper became my fear. So much so, that while still a mere child, I desired death in preference to the Day of Judgment; just as appears to have been the case in Russia at the recent expected return of the Leonid meteors, when, according to reports in the English papers, thousands of Russian peasants were paralyzed by fear and despair lest "that day" of horror should be at hand to destroy them and their children.
The dark shadow of these early thoughts remained with me more or less through life, until I began to gain some understanding of Rev. Mary Baker Eddy's writings.
I found at page 187, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," that this day was called the "judgment day of Wisdom," which "comes hourly and continually, even the judgment by which mortal man is divested of all material error."
