Excerpt from Christian Science in the Light of Reason
An objection not unfrequently urged to works of this kind is that they are iconoclastic - negative and destructive in character, rather than affirmative - constructive. For the purpose of discrediting such work is sometimes invoked the maxim, Build your own house, but don't pull down your neigh bor's. But one is not engaged in destroying his neighbor's individual structure who simply addresses him through the ordinary channels of information, calling attention to the unsanitary and dangerous character of materials being imposed on the building public.
If he kindly and courteously give his reasons for discrediting certain types of houses and certain brands of material, leaving it entirely optionary with each individual whether to heed or ignore his sug gestions, the maxim is irrelevant, because it fails at the very point of analogy; viz., imposition, constraint.
