Christian Science

CHAPTER XV
70/77

Once more I seem to recognize in her exactly the same appetite for self-deification that I have for pie.

We seem to be curiously alike; for the love of self-deification is really only the spiritual form of the material appetite for pie, and nothing could be more strikingly Christian-Scientifically "harmonious." I note this phrase: "Christian Science eschews divine rights in human beings." "Rights" is vague; I do not know what it means there.

Mrs.Eddy is not well acquainted with the English language, and she is seldom able to say in it what she is trying to say.

She has no ear for the exact word, and does not often get it.

"Rights." Does it mean "honors ?" "attributes ?" "Eschews." This is another umbrella where there should be a torch; it does not illumine the sentence, it only deepens the shadows.
