How important it is in every department of human experience to reject the false and gain the correct view! One of the reasons given for Abraham Lincoln's greatness was his readiness to abandon views proved false and accept new and truer views without loss of dignity.
Christian Science is revolutionary as well as revelational in its clear presentation of the facts of true being. It bids us drop our false views of life and intelligence in matter and replace them with true views of Life as Spirit and intelligence as spiritual. It opens our eyes to a very present God who is both Father and Mother to His universe and His man, and whose tender love and perfect care extend without limit to His entire creation.
Many years ago I used to ride to and from my place of business in company with a friend I had met on the streetcar. A point was reached where I used to watch for this man and board the same car. He was gracious and friendly, but what appealed to me most was that no matter what subject was introduced in our conversation, his viewpoint was balanced, intelligent, charitable—to my sense, correct. This deeply impressed the earnest young seeker for Truth that I was in those days. Later, when I became a guest in my friend's home and picked up a copy of The Christian Science Monitor, he told me that he and his wife were Christian Scientists.
