Ultimatum

Applied Christian Science liberates mortal thought from its puzzlements, its mental meanderings, its misery. It does this by directing thought aright. In place of submission to mental, moral, and physical discord, it reveals to mankind the way of healing and dominion. In place of a mortal, it presents man, God's likeness. How is the tangle of human life unraveled in Christian Science? By the scientific understanding of perfect spiritual causation and its persistent application to human imperfection.

Many times mortals are faced with some ultimatum of evil. It may appear as a verdict of so-called incurable disease, or of adamant sin, inescapable drudgery, domestic incompatibility, sorrow, or other mental torment. Accepting matter as their premise, deceived mortals are prone to bow to the sentence pronounced on them through the physical senses.

Contrariwise, the student of Christian Science accepts only the premise and conclusion of Spirit and its perfect creation. This is the ultimatum of God, and therefore of Christian Science. Primitive and ultimate are one in Truth, and man in God's likeness has no intermediate state. The indivisible God is constantly imparting His spiritual ideas impartially and without interruption.
