It has been said that they who dwell in the tabernacle of Wisdom must banish passion, prejudice and sloth. May it not be said with equal propriety that he who abides within the domain of Science must renounce egotism, bigotry and inordinate partisan zeal, whether social, political or religious? No substantial and permanent contribution to scientific research was ever made by him who repels all inference not drawn from his own personal experience, ignores all truth except that wdiich may be made to serve his purpose, or exalts sentiment over syllogism, rhetoric over reason, or impulse over obvious inference in forming the convictions which are to determine his course in life. Every solution worthy to be called scientific is based on fundamentals; and every problem, institution or cult bears the same relation to its basic principle that a superstructure does to its foundation destruction of the one involving the collapse of the other. It has, therefore, been the aim of the writer of these pages to ascertain the postulates which serve as bases for the so-called Christian Science doctrines, and subject them to the scrutiny of a rigid analysis.
