A Period of Overturning

SAMUEL GREENWOOD.

I will overturn, overturn, overturn, . . . until he come whose right it is.—Ezekiel.

It is an interesting and significant fact in connection with Mrs. Eddy's discovery of Christian Science in 1866, and her publication of its text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," in 1875, together with the remarkable growth of the movement since that time, that in the last forty years human thought has done more revising, correcting, and even discarding of its beliefs, theories, and practices than for centuries previous. The verity and reliability of some of these had been unquestioned hitherto, and they could only have passed out before the incoming of a truer understanding of being than brain knowledge could produce. Many, not understanding the nature and purpose of Christian Science, may see nothing more than a coincidence in this; but those who have discerned somewhat of the truth of this divine Science, and experienced its regenerative influence, recognize in these changes the signs of the dawning of a new epoch for the race, an epoch the most remarkable and blessed since the first advent of Christianity. These are surely times for earnest thinking, for the problem of the world's salvation is being solved on a higher plane and by a more potent rule than any to which mortal wisdom has aspired.
