Christian Science

CHAPTER VI
5/18

Who are attracted by Swedenborgianism and some of the other fine and delicate "isms"?
The few again: educated people, sensitively organized, with superior mental endowments, who seek lofty planes of thought and find their contentment there.

And who are attracted by Christian Science?
There is no limit; its field is horizonless; its appeal is as universal as is the appeal of Christianity itself.

It appeals to the rich, the poor, the high, the low, the cultured, the ignorant, the gifted, the stupid, the modest, the vain, the wise, the silly, the soldier, the civilian, the hero, the coward, the idler, the worker, the godly, the godless, the freeman, the slave, the adult, the child; they who are ailing in body or mind, they who have friends that are ailing in body or mind.

To mass it in a phrase, its clientage is the Human Race.

Will it march?
I think so.
Remember its principal great offer: to rid the Race of pain and disease.
Can it do so?
In large measure, yes.
