"Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest." Christ Jesus maintained continuously an uplifted mental outlook. His was always the exalted viewpoint that sees the truth about God and man. He did not overlook evil, but he looked above it to find the way to relief; and he brought peace by realizing that God is Spirit, divine Love, and that man is God's spiritual image or expression.

Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, recognized that Christ Jesus is the Way-shower for all mankind. Following the Master's precept and example, she taught men and women to improve their thinking by looking away from sordid or depressed conditions toward the ever present and omnipotent God and the perfect, spiritual man.
