The Attraction of the Christ, Truth

FRANCES S. BEATTY

Many interested inquirers today are asking, Just what is the attraction of Christian Science, the Science of Mind-healing? They are impressed with the devotion of Christian Scientists to a vital religion that is constantly growing. There are many reasons for this progress, reasons that are significant to the individual and to the world in general.

Aweary and athirst for the presence of Christ in barren lives, seekers after this new-old discovery or revelation come to it with the hope of meeting the Comforter. They are not disappointed. They do not go away with empty hands. For the Messiah, or Way-shower, is here today as of old to heal the sick, mend broken hearts, guide the disillusioned, and destroy sin. Uncounted numbers are finding new joy, new health, restored harmony in the home, business, and every human relationship.

In the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mary Baker Eddy declares (p. 254): "When we wait patiently on God and seek Truth righteously, He directs our path. Imperfect mortals grasp the ultimate of spiritual perfection slowly; but to begin aright and to continue the strife of demonstrating the great problem of being, is doing much."
