I found this passage very intriguing: Last paragraph on page 98
Viewing Religious science from its broadest meaning, we shall think of it as one of the many attempts now being made throughout the world to arrive at a more satisfactory understanding of life. It is an attempt to solve some of the enigmas of human existence. It is a seeking to solve some of the great mysteries of being to find a solution which will give a greater hope and certainty to those who search after the Truth. The practice of Religious Science is quite different from the popular concept of it. Those who are unfamiliar with this practice often misunderstand and misinterpret its meaning. It is a popular belief that those who practice those science are a class of people who declare that everything is perfect when, as a matter of fact, everything in the objective experience of the race is not perfect and, indeed, is far from being perfect. This popular idea of the practice of spiritual science is entirely a misconception. A Religious Scientist is not one who assures himself that wrong is right, that evil is good, that limitation is freedom, that bondage is liberty or that sickness is health. We does not claim that our objective experience is an illusion, but he does make this claim that behind the phenomena of human an material existence, behind the slow and persistent processes of evolution there is, as Emerson stated, "One Mind common to all people." He claims that this Mind is perfect and that he has access to this Mind.
