God's Witnesses

HAROLD LEE PATTERSON, SR.

"For this cause came I into the world," said Jesus, "that I should bear witness unto the truth."

One who has taken his place in the Christian Science movement finds himself privileged to give testimony which brings to his fellow men conviction of the healing power of Truth. This testimony may be spoken or written; but witnessing to Truth is most effective in right living and healing activity. The rewards for bearing witness to Truth are bountiful, bringing health, wholeness, harmony; whereas the false testimony of Truth's opposite, error, is seen in all the ills and suffering which humanity mistakenly accepts.

A dictionary defines "truth," in part, as "conformity to fact or reality." Mary Baker Eddy writes in her textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (Pref., p. viii), "The question, What is Truth, is answered by demonstration,—by healing both disease and sin." And she also says (ibid., p. 466), "Truth is real, and error is unreal." In bearing witness to Truth we advocate the real and repudiate the unreal.
