Quote by Mary Baker Eddy

Error is a supposition that pleasure and pain, that intelligence, substance, life, are existent in matter. Error is neither Mind nor one of Mind's faculties. Error is the contradiction of Truth. Error is a belief without understanding. Error is unreal because untrue. It is that which stemma to be and is not. If error were true, its truth would be error, and we should have a self-evident absurdity --namely, erroneous truth. Thus we should continue to lose the standard of Truth.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that error is essentially a falsehood or misconception. It suggests that error arises when we mistakenly believe that pleasure, pain, intelligence, substance, or life exist in physical matter when, in fact, they do not. Error is seen as a belief devoid of true understanding, contradicting the nature of truth itself. The quote argues that if error were to be considered as true, it would lead to a paradoxical situation, as truth cannot be erroneous. Therefore, error is regarded as unreal because it is not based on truth and perpetuates a loss of the true standard of reality.

It takes more time and effort and delicacy to learn the silence of a people than to learn its sounds. Some people have a special gift for this. Perhaps this explains why some missionaries, notwithstanding their efforts, never come to speak properly, to communicate delicately through silences. Although they speak with the accent of natives they remain forever thousands of miles away. The learning of the grammar of silence is an art much more difficult to learn than the grammar of sounds.

The woman is the home. That's where she used to be, and that's where she still is. You might ask me, What if a man tries to be part of the home -- will the woman let him? I answer yes. Because then he becomes one of the children.
