"The divine demand"

LINDEN E. JONES

Christian Science, contradicting the false evidence before the physical senses, and positing its sublime statements of Truth upon spiritual law, reveals to us the immortal fact that the real man forever lives in accord with and in obedience to his perfect Principle, God. Christian Science elucidates and amplifies the fact that because God is omnipresent Spirit, infinite Mind, man, His reflection, is wholly spiritual.

Thus, while material so-called law says that man is finite and mortal, subject to suffering, disease, and death, spiritual law, reversing this material declaration, proclaims the forever fact that man is the immortal idea of God. He expresses eternal Life, possesses immortal status and dominion, and remains forever in the likeness of Spirit, coexistent with his perfect Principle, God. Mary Baker Eddy writes in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 243): "Truth has no consciousness of error. Love has no sense of hatred. Life has no partnership with death. Truth, Life, and Love are a law of annihilation to everything unlike themselves because they declare nothing except God."

When, with hostile intent, the Egyptians pursued the children of Israel in the wilderness, Moses, the Hebrew leader, said to his people: "Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day.
