MARY BAKER EDDY,
who discovered and founded Christian Science, made wise provision in the Manual of The Mother Church for the conduct of the Sunday school.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
stands before us today revealing the truth of perfect God and perfect man, made in His image and likeness; the truth of God as Love, and of man as the image or reflection of Love, the very expression of Love; the truth that the only universe is a universe of Love, since God is Love.
