True Causation

CHARLES V. WINN

On page 170 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, we find a most profound and helpful statement. It reads, "Spiritual causation is the one question to be considered, for more than all others spiritual causation relates to human progress." As everyone is trying to progress along some line, it is not to be wondered at that this bold declaration has arrested the attention and earnest consideration of thousands. When its true import is firmly grasped, many striking changes in human affairs are bound to take place.

During the past few years there have been many extraordinary phenomena of an unusual nature which have engaged the thought of many students of natural science, so called, and other thinkers as well. The deeper the search the more baffling has seemed the answer, until oftentimes the so-called human mind has given up almost in despair.

To the student of spiritual Truth the solution is plain and satisfying, and can be tested on the touchstone of daily demonstration. The world, generally, believes that causation is largely, if not wholly, material; that force is physical, or at least both spiritual and material. It believes in a real material world, subject to material force, governed by material law, and inevitably subject to sin, sickness, disaster, disease, and death. Is it strange that mortals experience that which they concede to be the inevitable accompaniments of human existence?
