The high bar and "necessary effort"

Alfred Farlow speaks of "the folly of excuses". He had to swallow some humble pie when rebuked for an error which at first did not seem to be his. He writes: "Of course, no person ever progressed without some mistakes. Nevertheless, our experience with the Leader of the Christian Science movement demonstrated the fact that one can approximate perfection far beyond the ordinary belief ... if he realizes the importance of it and makes the necessary effort" (We Knew Mary Baker Eddy Vol. 1, Expanded Edition, p. 209).
