It has been said, "No two men come to Christian Science by the same mental journey."
Each man comes to the threshold of his acquaintance with God, through the pathway of his own individuality. So complex is the problem of humanity, from the material standpoint, that no two people share the same mental experience, however closely their lives may be woven in external interests.
Outwardly there may be the same needs, the same educational interests, the same models in art and literature, the same standards in home and business; men may have the same desires, struggles, ambitions, failures, and achievements; may speak a common language, weave together a universal social fabric, eat and sleep, work and play as one family in this school of experience which we call the world; and yet individuality remains uninvaded. Experiences may be similar in kind, but lives touch only at points of common interest. Because of the individual problem, one may in a measure understand another's need, or loss, or victory, but the fact remains that each man lives in his own world and pursues his own mental pathway to the working out of his own salvation.
