Scientific Separation

Violet Ker Seymer

On page 586 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mrs. Eddy defines "fan" as "separator of fable from fact; that which gives action to thought." This symbolism is, no doubt, drawn from the threshing and winnowing which results in the separation of grain from chaff. Mentally speaking, it denotes order and activity.

One foe of mankind is apathy, or mental slackness. The Christian Scientist cannot afford to take a passive attitude toward any problem, for, as a scientific thinker, his duty is to prove the power of Truth. Christian Science lifts the alert, loyal student out of the fabulous, nebulous material sense of existence into the perception of spiritual being, and his need is to maintain this perception.

The unity between God, man, and the universe is the established fact which Christian Scientists are called upon to realize and demonstrate. Perfect coöperation between all ideas in divine Mind is also the established fact which can reconcile all human differences on the common basis of divine Principle.
