For nearly two thousand years Christianity has been teaching its followers the need of loving one's fellow man. So great was the emphasis laid upon love by Christ Jesus that it was an outstanding characteristic of his teachings. St. John, the beloved disciple, made love the basic point of his interpretation of the significance of the life and works of our Master. It is recorded by tradition that even in his latter years he would have himself carried about in his chair, so that he could still admonish those with whom he came in contact, "Little children, love one another."

In our own time Mary Baker Eddy discovered and founded Christian Science, basing its teaching upon this gospel of love and taking as its firm foundation the inspired words of the Bible.

If God alone is real, is true, then it inevitably follows that anything opposed to what we know God to be is unreal and untrue. If God is Love, then anything which is opposed to love, such as hatred, anger, irritation, envy, and impatience, is a quality which can only seem to be true, but which by intelligent reasoning we know to be merely mesmeric illusion.
