AMONG THE CHURCHES

with contributions from Sue Harper Mims

During my absence of three weeks in Texas, somewhat brilliant and sensational articles appeared in our papers, regarding a new church, in which I was given undue credit. Our Cause is growing so rapidly over the whole world that it is quite natural our trustees should have a splendid hope in connection with such a prospect, and far be it from me to limit this hope and promise. Has not all the sin and suffering of humanity arisen from the one error of limiting "the Holy One of Israel"? Our church is a democratic body, and it remains for the church as a body to project and carry out, through its committees, any need of the church. All of my love and sympathy are with any progressive and enlarging movement, but it must be in the divine order. The methods of Christian Science are modest, quiet, steady, scientific. "Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts."

Mrs. Eddy has written an immortal book, that will be studied, utilized, and demonstrated so long as there is a sick body to be healed, a sorrowing heart to be comforted, or a diseased mind "to be ministered unto." Lord Dun, more's manly, strong, magnificent tribute to Mrs. Eddy and her writings, in the March number of the Cosmopolitan, shows clearly the power and the mission of our text-book.

"Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by its spiritual interpretation of the inspired Word, explains to us how to follow Jesus in his demonstration over all materiality,—how to follow him in all the ascending scale of being, until we awake or rise to conscious unity with God, infinite good, our divine Principle. Mrs. Eddy says, "The scientific unity which exists between God and man must be wrought out in life-practice, and God's will must be universally done" (Science and Health, p. 202). We rejoice in the light that flows through her spiritual consciousness, illumining earth and dispelling the shadows of mortality.
