FOLLOWING NATURAL DESIRE

From the May 1888 issue of The Christian Science Journal


In the published words of one who claims to be teaching Christian Science we read:

Some make the mistake of thinking that they must choose only such blessings as may be best for them; but the desire, in all instances, is a hint of the thing we ought to have.

This cuts loose from all restraint, and leaves us wanderers in an unknown place at night without light, pathway, or guide. Desire is blind. Desire has no sense of right or wrong. Desire may be a hint that we need something; but it contains not a particle of information whether we ought to have the thing desired.
