A letter that was printed in your issue of May 2 was logical when it made the following statement: "If one admits the fundamental proposition that 'God is All,' everything else in Christian Science naturally and inevitably follows. If this fundamental proposition is untrue, then nothing in Christian Science follows. Allow the great fundamental statement that 'God is All' and you will be compelled to admit that there is no sin, no suffering, no death; that sin, suffering, and death, which seem to be realities, are, as Christian Science people tell us, 'illusions of mortal mind.'"

Christian Science does acknowledge that God is All, a conclusion that is deduced from Scriptural testimony. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were convinced that the Supreme Being is "God Almighty." Solomon perceived God's infinite nature when he said, "Behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee." David said, "Thou art God alone," and he discerned God's ever-presence. (See Ps. 139: 7, 8.). Isaiah assured the children of Israel of God's eternality and oneness by quoting God as declaring, "I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God." Paul proclaimed that there is "one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all." Paul stated also of God, "For in him we live, and move, and have our being."

If there is one infinite, almighty, ever present, eternal God, can there be aught beside Him? Did not Christ Jesus answer this question for all time when he approved the statement of the lawyer, "For there is one God; and there is none other but he"? Is not this Christian authority for affirming that God is All?
