COLLECTED WRITINGS COMPLETE 220 pages ~ Unquestionably, the chief business of a Christian Scientist, is the healing of the sick. In some way or other that needs to be improved immensely, needs to be much more successful, and every earnest Christian Scientist knows that, and stands somewhat as the ancient Israelites, stands expectant, waiting and watching; if wise, not so much waiting and watching. 

Truth will appear and flood the situation with light to the exclusion of darkness. The divine idea is all that is needed; that means a good deal more than we generally think it does. There is some misunderstanding somewhere or other, because speaking of
the movement as a whole, there is not as much light as there should be; and sometimes there is useless controversy, and senseless criticism, and unwarranted personal gossip. They are all worthless, unworthy of educated sensible men and women. Controversies interfere with healing to some extent. They serve to darken the atmosphere of thought. You do not have to struggle through a great sense of darkness, in order to demonstrate the light. Christian Scientists have to look out for their thinking. It does not matter so much what the Roman Catholics are thinking; it is what am I thinking? Is my consciousness
like good? Is it sure there is nothing in the infinite universe apart from God? Is it impervious to human attack? It is foolish to be angry, to be disturbed. If you know error isn’t doing anything, it isn’t doing anything. It is what you know. I am sorry if somebody hates me, but he can’t get me to hate him. If I hate him, I am in hell, and I don’t propose to get into hell.
