Shearing or seeing?

STEPHEN FRASER

Many students of Christian Science have an unselfish desire to share it with others. However, they must watch lest they be fooled into accepting a standpoint foreign to this Science: the standpoint that there really exists out there a world of persons hungry for the truth they don't have. This would bring Christian Science down to the level of mortal thinking.

The Science of Christ is unique in maintaining that man is God's idea and so already reflects the truth; that perfection is the established fact; and that God, Truth, is All. Creation, as the Bible and Mrs. Eddy's writings reveal, is already complete, entire, wholly good, and "nothing can be put to it." ^{ Eccl. 3:14;}

As Christian Scientists see this fact, they can help demonstrate it for mankind. This is not evangelism in the old sense, but the Science of seeing universal perfection already established. The method of demonstrating this Science is clearly set forth in the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy.
