This, incidentally, is not the same thing as the "demonstration" claimed by Christian Science and kindred cults. The latter make the mistake of attempting to measure inward spiritual attainment by outward material gain, an absurd and materialistic notion and one which could never have taken hold had these cults truly understood the message of Jesus. They claim that fortune can be amply supplied through the services of the Divine Mind, as though Providence took a special interest in our private purse. They wish to effect an unholy conjuncture of God and Mammon, wish to widen the narrow way. It cannot be done. They are really worshipping money, not spirit and truth. They are entitled to do this but they ought not to deceive themselves in the matter.
