In a recent issue, your "New Windsor Wanderings" carried a reference to Christian Science which has been called to my attention.

Mary Baker Eddy discovered Christian Science and gave the world in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" that profound "scientific statement of being," of which the following is part (p. 468): "There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all."

Christian Scientists accept that only as real which emanates from God, Spirit. John writes, "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." Christ Jesus said, "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing." In accord with those statements, Christian Science defines substance as "that which is eternal and incapable of discord and decay" (ibid., p. 468). Christian Scientists do not deny that the material phenomena about us may seem very substantial, but when they speak of absolute reality, they mean that which is God-created.
