In the Bible we read: "Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?" Job 38:36;
Man's real qualities can be only good, reflecting the intelligence, love, and purity of God, man's creator. It is comforting and reassuring to know that all the seeming foibles and unlovely traits of the mortal personality, which would distress or degrade, are not fixed and permanent qualities of the individual. From the Bible and from the textbook of Christian Science, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, students of Christian Science learn how to eliminate the errors of mortal sense that make man seem less than perfect.
Those who look for human betterment that has its basis in a material sense of existence are now discussing the possibility that better human beings may someday be made by laboratory methods. Some suggest that since human beings seem prone to hereditary defects of organism and character, good qualities might be programmed into the human body by selected genes, to fit a prearranged choice.
