Health

EMILY W. DENNISTON

TO understand or know that we have our existence in God is to experience, in the proportion of our understanding, health or harmony. And this understanding can be attained by all who earnestly strive to comprehend and reflect the nature of God as taught in Christian Science.

In the Bible we read, "Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil;" and, as mankind admits that ill health is an evil, we can but draw the conclusion that God is "of purer eyes" than to know anything about sickness. Indeed we can go further, if we study the first chapter of Genesis, and agree with the last verse, which states, "And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good."

The larger portion of mankind admits that God made or created everything; and since the publication of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, a steadily growing number of thinkers are beginning to realize that the second part of the verse quoted above is an absolute fact,—"behold, it was very good." One of the results of this acknowledgment, coupled with a persistent effort to understand and put into practice the truths set forth in the Christian Science textbook, is less sickness and, consequently, better health, as well as a clearer recognition of what health really is and how to preserve it.
