The Supremacy of Spirit

GORDON WILLIAM FLOWER

On page 369 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mrs. Eddy writes, "In proportion as matter loses to human sense all entity as man, in that proportion does man become its master."

Like the Hebrews of old in Egypt, mortals ofttimes find themselves in bondage to hard taskmasters, such as sin, sorrow, fear, hopelessness, hatred, revenge, and disease. But when one is willing to accept and to put into practice the teachings of Christian Science, he is enabled to break these bonds of materiality, because he begins to discern the fact that man lives in Spirit, not in matter. He is then better able to understand the significance of the Apostle Paul's statement, "The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death."
