Today, the person who questions it is in danger merely of being thought a fool. Another illustration may bring the matter down to our own times. The common sense person is con- vinced that pain is in a wound. If you were to tell him that it was not within "two feet of it, " he would proceed to tell you that his senses convinced him that it was. When, however, he turns to the laboratory, the scientist answers by telling him that pain "is a 20 CHRISTIAN SCIENCE HEALING state of consciousness. " T...he moral is obvious. The teaching in Christian Science of the unreality of mat- ter is not a bit more ridiculous to the common sense philosopher of today than the statement that the sun was stationary was ridiculous to the medieval inquis- itor; while the statement that pain is mental, however ridiculous it may be to the common sense philosopher, is not ridiculous to the laboratory. "Of all the dan- gerous mental habits/' to complete Huxley's summing up, "that which schoolboys call 'cocksureness' is probably the most perilous; and the inestimable value of metaphysical discipline is that it furnishes an effec- tual counterpoise to this evil proclivity.
