Some of the good brothers and sisters of other denominations regard it almost an insult unintentional to Deity to voice the insignificance of mortals after the manner of the songster who writes Oh to be nothing nothingEditorial Note: The words of the hymn “Oh, to be nothing, nothing” were written by Georgiana M. Taylor (1847-1915) in 1869. Mary Baker Eddy has quoted four lines from the hymn here, and her wording differs slightly from the original wording.
Only to lie at His feet
An empty and broken vessel
For the Fathers uses most meet
But to my sense spiritual the last line of that verse excuses by explanation As Written: explaination Imparts sense of the nothings of mortal man, he of whom the scripture saith "to-day is and tommorrow is cast into the oven"Matt 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? cremated and consigned to its original – dust. Again dust Thou art and unto dust shalt Thou return
While certain doctrines of men are detrimental to Divine Science and tend to deprive reason of revelation and man of immortality the averment of mortal nothingness is to my sense consistent as nothing else can be with the Science of the immortality of man and the Allness yea the infinitude of God, or Mind, and its logical sequence viz the nothingness of matter if whatever implies or includes the opposite of Mind and Consequently is mortal because of this error
