Excerpt from What Is Christian Science?

Mrs. Eddy had the child's fondness for activity and the child's dislike for work. She rebelled against discipline. Rules and restrictions were as distasteful to her as to children who have been allowed to grow up without discipline, while logic and reason meant no more to her than they would to primitive man.

Science and Health is a book consisting largely of extra ordinary claims put forth with the most provoking indiffer enceto the universally accepted rules of evidence, and with an abandon suggesting that of the steed who has thrown his rider. If her readers ask for proofs, She points to the authority of her name. Has she not received a revelation Is she not the Comforter whom Jesus promised to send into the world And if there are obscure passages in her writings, it is not because these are really dark, but because there is not enough light in the eyes of the readers of her books. This free-and-easy method carries her through seven hundred pages of her masterpiece, Science and Health, without encountering the least obstacle or being checked for an instant by a single difficulty. Writing was like play to her, and sentences and phrases flow Copiously and swell into a veritable flood in her pages, because what satisfied her was that she could say so much, and not Whether what she said had any basis in fact.
