MATERIAL CHURCH ACTIVITY – 8
You will desire that place in society and the world which removes you furthest from them. The fate of ambition is its snare, its only rationality is madness. We should yearn and aspire to rise above the world, its sorrows or its favor, with as great earnestness as to triumph over sickness, sin and death, for worldly ambition leads in the paths of these conditions which are forbidden and forsaken in Christian Science. Man is not more nor less. Mary Baker Eddy (Carpenter, Gilbert, Essays On Christian Science, p.11)
