"That most important of all arts"

MARGUERITE SCOTT TILL

Many , the world over, are reaching out for perfection in various arts; in music, in manufacture, in invention; and each one knows that only as he persistently reaches towards perfection can his goal of achievement be won.

In "Miscellaneous Writings" Mrs. Eddy writes (p. 232), "Spirit is omnipotent; hence a more spiritual Christianity will be one having more power, having perfected in Science that most important of all arts,—healing."

The student of Christian Science who desires above everything else to acquire "that most important of all arts,—healing," makes it his daily task, through his understanding of Christian Science, to give "back the lost sense of man in unity with, and reflecting, his Maker" (ibid., pp. 184–185), and having dominion over all the earth. He may be working in an office or a store, or he may be concerned with civic, industrail, or political affairs, where perhaps evil passions, mad ambitions, or mischievous influences seem to abound. Here is the very place for him to bring out the perfection of man in God's likeness. In the ratio that he discerns the perfection of man as the reality, and discord, disease, and death as the unreality, is his success in this Christianly scientific endeavor.
