What Shall the Harvest Be?

Dayton (O.) Weekly Herald

Christian Science is the name given by its Discoverer and Founder to the system now attracting such marked attention, because of its practical application to the affairs of every-day life.

It is applied Christianity. This period of history, known as the Christian era, has been a remarkable one in the history of the human race. It was inaugurated by Christ Jesus, who set aside prevailing traditions and usages, and established the great principle of individual liberty, through the understanding of man's unity with God—Good. He certainly demonstrated this in his life and bade his followers do the work he did.

We are told that this was done for about three centuries after his ascension, giving proof of the ever-living Christ overcoming all opposing evils, material laws, and conditions. Since then profession has usurped the place of practical obedience to his commands; good words instead of deeds; inculcating obedience, and at the same time failing to obey; looking at Jesus the Christ as so far above and beyond all other men, that to emulate his example was to dishonor his divinity. Thus men lost sight of the true—the real.
