The Glorious Liberty

MARION P. HATCH.

As one listened recently in a Wednesday evening meeting of Christian Scientists to their testimonies of good works, — the healing of sorrow, sickness, and sin, —and remembered that all over this country and in many other parts of the world similar meetings, with like exalted testimonies, were being held every Wednesday evening in the year, it was all at once seen, and with great joy, that in Christian Science is to be found what the Apostle Paul saw when he wrote to the Romans and to all the world of "the glorious liberty of the children of God."

It matters not now, that for ages it has been believed that the grave lies between this liberty and man, for Christian Science is proving that this glorious liberty is in the understanding and demonstration of Life, Truth, and Love, and that it is for all peoples."

How great is this liberty! The greatest known, because it is a release from the hardest taskmasters known, —sin, sickness, and death; and because it may be universally realized. The way has been made very plain, it is to obey the command, "Touch not the unclean thing; and I . . . will be a Father unto you." As a sure result of this obedience, sin, sickness, and death will be seen to have neither presence nor power, and God will be seen as All-in-all, with man in His image and likeness, expressing His dominion, wisdom, and understanding.
