The End of Error

CLARA E. MCKENZIE

Christian Science has not only brought to human understanding the final revelation of Truth, but it has also revealed the end of all error, of all evil. In the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 475), Mrs. Eddy has said, "To Truth there is no error,—all is Truth." Hence it follows that once the student of Christian Science gains a glimpse of Truth and of the infinitude of good, he sees there is no place left for error or evil in any form. At that moment the final destruction of error has begun for that student. Truth revealed still remains to be demonstrated, but every victory won, every phase of error overcome, brings to light more of the allness of God—Truth, Life, and Love.

When Jesus was asked concerning the coming of the kingdom of God, he said that it came not "with observation," neither could they say, "Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." Then his disciples asked him privately when those things which portended the end of the world should be. His answer seems very modern in its applicability to present-day experience, showing that the human element is the same in all ages. Jesus referred to the days of Noah, and compared those times with the times in which he and his disciples were living and the problems they were meeting, which are the same to-day: "As it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all."

Here is a vivid picture of the social, everyday life of the human race. Jesus did not prophesy any change in these conditions, knowing that only the understanding of man as spiritual, and not bound by matter or material customs, could free men from much dwelling upon and thought-taking over material living; for he said, "Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed." Right in the midst of our present human experience is the time and the place for the "Son of man" to be revealed.
