LITTLE GODS 

  	    It is sometimes said, cynically, that Christian Scien-
 3	tists set themselves on pedestals, as so many petty deities;
  	but there is no fairness or propriety in the aspersion. 
  	    Man is not equal to his Maker. That which is formed
 6	is not cause, but effect; and has no underived power. 
  	But it is possible, and dutiful, to throw the weight of
  	thought and action on the side of right, and to be thus
 9	lifted up. 
  	    Man should be found not claiming equality with, but
  	growing into, that altitude of Mind which was in Christ
12	Jesus. He should comprehend, in divine Science, a
  	recognition of what the apostle meant when he said:
  	"The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that
15	we are the children of God:  and if children, then heirs;
  	heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ."
