"The tree of the knowledge of good and evil" still dangles before the material senses its forbidden fruit of belief in intelligent matter.
Christian Science does not present the picture of a personal God who dispenses health and sickness, trouble and prosperity, according to merit or demerit, and makes use of evil as a disciplinary measure. This Science designates God as divine Principle, infinite good, beholding and bestowing perfection on every idea in creation.
The desire for enlightenment is deeply rooted, and skepticism is wont to disappear as one makes a fair investigation of the teachings and practice of Christian Science. One should therefore be perpetually and discriminatingly teachable. "The meek will he teach his way."
