As we become more and more interested in Christian Science we may find ourselves more rarely visiting the shelves where former favorites, the works of poets, philosophers, and other thinkers, are kept. We may not feel that these books did not merit the attention bestowed upon them, but their thought can no longer serve as we walk in the radiant light of this new revelation of Truth.
It is intimated sometimes that because these authors wrote under the limitations of material sense, they had no glimpses of that which lies behind the veil. We must be careful just here not to cut the ground from beneath our own feet. The dictum of Science is that Truth is ever-present. Whatever men thought in the past, whatever they think now, Truth was no more absent fifty or a hundred years ago than to-day; and humanity's meagre apprehension during the pre-Christian Science era but evidences their reliance on a dream.
The position that Truth, being omni-active, revelation has been continuous with the history of mankind, is easily established.
