In
the remarkable colloquy between Jesus and Nicodemus, detailed in the third chapter of John's gospel, the Master goes to the very heart of the problem of being and draws with unerring accuracy the line of demarcation between the real—the spiritual—creation and the fictitious claim of a universe evolving on an unspiritual basis.

So
often in our experience, particularly in our daily work, we meet those who seem to exert an influence on our lives, testing our dispositions, character, and ability to get along amiably with our fellow men.

In testifying to the benefits which I have experienced through Christian Science, which has taught me the operation of divine law,—that everything that is is the direct effect of the law of God, the law of good, the one basic law which governs the entire universe,—I find that to enumerate them would be almost an impossibility.
My debt to Christian Science is growing daily, for it is constantly bringing more and more joy into my life, and is giving to me a peace of mind which I had never previously experienced.
After receiving, for over ten years, the benefits which Christian Science bestows, I feel it a duty as well as a privilege to testify to divine Love's healing and saving power.
