The small son of friends of mine was once bitterly disappointed on finding upon his first trip to Canada that it was not purple! His only knowledge of Canada had been a purple map which someone had shown him and said, "This is Canada." Until he learned differently, Canada had been a land of purple grass, purple trees, and purple sky.
It is easy to see that my little friend's belief in a purple Canada stemmed from a misconception. Most of us, at some time, have experienced disappointments in a greater or lesser degree because our logic has been based upon a misconception.
On page 93 of Science and Health, Mrs. Eddy makes this brief, thought-provoking statement: "Divine logic and revelation coincide." She follows it with these observations: "If we believe otherwise, we may be sure that either our logic is at fault or that we have misinterpreted revelation. Good never causes evil, nor creates aught that can cause evil."
