As we advance out of sense into Soul, we can but wonder at our ignorance regarding the Truth of Being.
When a clock needs repairing we do not take it to a blacksmith, neither do we go to a jeweler to have a horse shod. When we want cotton goods we do not go to a woolen factory to get them; neither do we go to a glass factory to purchase silk goods; but when the body is out of harmony we go to every place but to the Principle of man.
When a person is said to be dying, a mortal is sent for to administer a medicine that has neither life nor intelligence in it, when, "Unto God the Lord belong the issues from death." "In the way of righteousness [Scientific right thoughts] is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death." Christian Science shows us what seems to be lost, and how to regain it.
