Unity

Duncan Sinclair

Everybody will admit that to insure the success of any movement unity is a most important factor. Unity means that those taking part in a movement are in agreement on essentials; and to be thus in agreement in any right activity is to harness moral power in its accomplishment. The Christian Science movement is no exception to the rule; and no finer example of progress through unity can be found than that accomplished by it during the last half century.

When one considers that only a little more than sixty years ago Christian Science was still undiscovered, and that now Christian Science churches are to be found in the most distant lands, and that the authorized Christian Science literature pentrates to wherever western civilization has found a foothold, one is forced to inquire as to why it should be so. What is behind this world-wide movement? What inspires its adherents in their determination to make Christian Science known to all mankind? What gives them the courage, the steadfastness, the gladness, to continue in the prosecution of its mission?

The answer to all such questions is that Christian Scientists have learned through Christian Science something which has proved of the greatest value to them, and which they are convinced will prove equally valuable to their fellow-men everywhere. They have learned something of the absolute truth, that truth which Christ Jesus said would make men free, and which he used to heal the sick and the sinning. They have learned something of the divine Principle of that truth, God Himself. They are perfectly certain of the truth which Christian Science has revealed to them, because they have proved it to be the truth by successfully applying it to the overcoming of their own difficulties and those of others. Innumerable healings have resulted through the right application of the rules of Christian Science, whereby a realization of the allness of good is obtained, and evil seen to be an unreal concept of the so-called human mind.
