Excerpt from What Christian Science Means and What We Can Learn From It And yet the craving for the new is legiti mate and natural. Truth is ever renewing itself; it is ever old, yet ever new; and the Master himself has said, that every scribe who is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an house holder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old (matt. 13. Christian teachers, as a. Rule, have failed to give sufficient emphasis to the new. They have contended stoutly for the faith once delivered to the saints, but have not kept their minds open to the revelation of truth which the ever-speaking Spirit of God is now giving to the saints; and hence they have been unable to preach the gospel with fresh ness and power. In a full-rounded evangel the new and the old will be equally balanced. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
