LEARNING TO SPEAK IN THE NEW TONGUE

From the January 1959 issue of The Christian Science Journal


It is often said that as long as one continues to think in his own language and then tries to express his thoughts in another language, he will speak poorly and haltingly. One needs to grow to the place where he is thinking in the language he is speaking. Then his outward expression of it will be free and natural.

The writer has often applied these thoughts to progress in the understanding and demonstration of Christian Science. For here too is a new and different tongue, the language of the divine Mind, God, and not of the carnal mind.

In order to express this new tongue correctly—that is, in order to demonstrate Science by proof of healing—the student must do more than approach it from traditional standpoints of thought. He must, instead, think in terms of this Science from new, scientific, God-inspired viewpoints.
