We have to assert, and the assertion will, we doubt not...

From the October 1905 issue of The Christian Science Journal


We have to assert, and the assertion will, we doubt not, cause extreme surprise, that the discipline of science is superior to that of our ordinary education, because of the religious culture that it gives. Of course we do not here use the words scientific and religious in their ordinary limited acceptations, but in their widest and highest acceptations. Doubtless, to the superstitions that pass under the name of religions, science is antagonistic, but not to the essential religion, which these superstitions merely hide. Doubtless, too, in much of the science that is current there is a pervading spirit of irreligion, but not in that true science which has passed beyond the superficial into the profound. —
