PRACTICING GOD'S LAW

WALTER S. SYMONDS

More than others, perhaps, Christian Scientists should be conscious of the importance of law. They recognize the law and order of the universe, and in their daily living they try to conform to the laws governing man—God's laws— and to the laws of the land. They are inspired by that divine invisible force which directs the lives of those who love God. In reverence they seek to submit to the government of the one all-wise God, from whom issues all true law, which is spiritual, supreme, and constant in its functions.

Contemplating the true sense of life, Christian Scientists open their hearts with joyous expectancy to consider the practice of divine law. They stand at the bar of justice, the court of Spirit. They understand that the creator, knowing all His creation individually and collectively, administers justice and equity to all through the law of Truth and Love.

To the question: "How would you define Christian Science?" Mary Baker Eddy answers in "Rudimental Divine Science" (p. 1), "As the law of God, the law of good, interpreting and demonstrating the divine Principle and rule of universal harmony." From this we learn that Christian Science gives the true interpretation of God and His creation, and sets forth the order and symmetry of the universe of Spirit. We see also from this definition that divine Principle must be demonstrated.
