It might be well to state that Christian Scientists do not claim immunity from those things which ordinarily leave their impress upon the physical senses. In the same way as do other Christians, they proclaim that the God whom they worship is Spirit, and that man made in His image and likeness must of necessity be spiritual. To demonstrate this self-evident truth, it is necessary for man eventually to prove his absolute dominion over things material; and the Christian Scientist sees no other way to reach this ultimate than to exercise this dominion, in so far as he is able, right here and now, and thereby to proclaim, as in the words of our Saviour: "The kingdom of heaven is at hand."
