"The entireness of God, good"

ALICE LOUISE MERRILL

A CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST opened her door in response to a caller who was canvassing the city in order to secure information regarding church attendance. The question was asked, "Are you entirely satisfied with the church of your choice?" Without a moment's hesitation the Christian Scientist joyously replied, "Yes," and the interview was ended.

The student then asked herself: "Why am I satisfied with my religion? Why am I happy to be a member of The Mother Church and of one of its branches? Is it not because through this association I am gaining a demonstrable understanding of God?"

She recalled her first visit to the office of a Christian Science practitioner. In reply to her query, "How can I become a Christian Scientist?" the practitioner read the following words from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy (p. 275): "The starting-point of divine Science is that God, Spirit, is All-in-all, and that there is no other might nor Mind,—that God is Love, and therefore He is divine Principle."
