A correspondent writing in a recent issue on the subject of Christian Science, inquires how it can be proved that "God is infinite Mind," as stated in a recent lecture on Christian Science.

According to a dictionary, the word "prove" means "to try or to ascertain by an experiment ... to demonstrate." Christian Science is not a human philosophy, and Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of this Science, was not propounding a theory which she had invented herself. In 1866, her immediate recovery through spiritual means, from a supposedly fatal injury, led to her discovery of the Science of Christianity. Mrs. Eddy retired for three years from society to study the Bible and elucidate the Science which she afterwards named Christian Science. Since that day the students of Christian Science have had innumerable proofs of the truth of the statement that "God is infinite Mind," for many have been healed and regenerated through its ministrations. These witnesses have proved for themselves that "God is infinite Mind," and in so doing have realized something of what is meant by the kingdom of heaven on earth.

Mrs. Eddy has written in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 174), "Truth is revealed. It needs only to be practised."
