For
many years, the world has accepted the theory that the development of the highest order of things depends upon the survival of the fittest.
We
read in the fourth chapter of Exodus that when Moses held a material rod in his hand—which was apparently a symbol of spiritual power—God bade him cast it on the ground, and the rod became a serpent.
Centuries
before the Christian era, Jeremiah prophesied: "After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
In
Luke's gospel, Jesus is reported as saying to his students, "Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: he is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
Through
a variety of modes and methods that exceeds the Babel of tongues, the history of individuals and mankind reveals a search for God, the Principle of all being.
Not
to try intellectually to control the thinking and decisions of those around one may seem a great difficulty with those especially who have been many years in the teaching profession.
The
true worship of God is the acceptance of infinite Principle as the only cause for being, though religious understanding is by no means limited to this or any other form of words.
Fearless
stood the young Elihu,Bowing not to time-worn doctrinesProudly stated by his elders;Inspiration pure his weapon,God his every need supplying.
I wish to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done and is doing for me and mine.

Some years ago I was greatly puzzled over an influence which had come into the daily life of my sister, changing her troubled, anxious thought to one of contentment and peace.
I wish to express my gratitude for the great benefits that have come to me through Christian Science.
I am sending my testimony, thinking it might help some one else who is drifting on the sea of error.
When I attempt to tell briefly of the wondrous help and benefits derived from the study and application of the teachings of Christian Science, words fail to do justice to my ever increasing sense of gratitude to our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, for her great discovery.
Christian Science has been a great blessing to me and to my family.
It is with deep gratitude that I testify to the many blessings which Christian Science has brought into my experience.
Ever since I became a student of Christian Science I have found the testimonies published in The Christian Science Journal and Sentinel a source of encouragement and inspiration, and I have sometimes felt a pang of regret that I had no great physical healing to record, so that I might add my expression of gratitude to those appearing in our periodicals.
