Conditions of criticism

The statement that the teachings of Christian Sci- ence in this work are "absolutely false, and the most egregious fallacies ever offered for accept- ance," is an opinion wholly due to a misap- prehension both of the divine Principle and practice of Christian Science and to a consequent inability to demon- strate this Science. Without this understanding, no one is capable of impartial or correct criticism, because demon- stration and spiritual understanding are God's immortal keynotes, proved to be such by our Master and evidenced by the sick who are cured and by the sinners who are reformed.
