...Christian Science regards as real only that which can be attributed to God, the only real cause, precluding any effect from any other cause. Evil, discord, sin and disease have no relation with God or his perfect creation, hence are unreal. All mankind, striving to be rid of evil, instinctively repudiates it in their thought as being unnatural, hence in the last analysis unreal.

It were better to have Harvard study by candle-light huddled over a wood first than to have it so colossally misrepresented by the attempt to cover up the source of its heat and light...
...were prejudiced in favor of our visitor's side of the subject. They were not alumni of Harvard. It would seem, therefore, that when Mr. Palmer assumes that the judges "are completely in accord with the Institution and ideas which the Harvard team stood for and are completely in discord with the principles that the team from the West brings with them," he is not even correct in his premise, which renders his rather violent conclusion that therefore they were unfit and would act unfairly, distasteful to believers in fair play...
