   1      Mental quackery rests on the same platform as all
     other quackery. The chief plank in this platform is the
   3  doctrine that Science has two principles in

    Mental
    charlatanism

     partnership, one good and the other evil,--
     one spiritual, the other material,--and that these two
   6  may be simultaneously at work on the sick. This
     theory is supposed to favor practice from both a mental
     and a material standpoint. Another plank in the plat-
   9  form is this, that error will finally have the same effect
     as truth.
         It is anything but scientifically Christian to think of
  12  aiding the divine Principle of healing or of trying to sus-
     tain the human body until the divine Mind

    Divinity
    ever ready

     is ready to take the case. [[[Divinity is always
  15  ready. Semper paratus is Truth's motto.]]] Having seen
     so much suffering from quackery, the author desires to
     keep it out of Christian Science. The two-edged sword
  18  of Truth must turn in every direction to guard "the tree
     of life."
         Sin makes deadly thrusts at the Christian Scientist as
  21  ritualism and creed are summoned to give place to higher
     law, but Science will ameliorate mortal malice.

    The panoply
    of wisdom

     The Christianly scientific man reflects the
  24  divine law, thus becoming a law unto himself. He does
     violence to no man. Neither is he a false accuser. The
     Christian Scientist wisely shapes his course, and is hon-
  27  est and consistent in following the leadings of divine
     Mind. He must prove, through living as well as heal-
     ing and teaching, that Christ's way is the only one
  30  by which mortals are radically saved from sin and
     sickness.
         Christianity causes men to turn naturally from matter
