LOYALTY in Christian Science is strict adherence and obedience to divine Principle, God. One's degree of loyalty, then, is measured by his conformity of thought and action to Principle.

" WE do not speak the same language," has become a current phrase in explanation of incompatibility. This "same language" does not refer to a common knowledge of English, French, German, Chinese, or Choctaw, but to the same point of view or basis of understanding.
