But it is established among civilized peoples that these differences are meant to delight and inspire rather than to repel the scholar or the scientist.

"Readers" recite sections of Science and Health, with Key to the Scriptures; at certain services fellow-believers rise and tell "experiences," express thanks for "favors" done them in misery.
