"The universal solvent"

GENEVA MARY CLIPPINGER

Mary Baker Eddy, on page 242 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," urges, "In patient obedience to a patient God, let us labor to dissolve with the universal solvent of Love the adamant of error, — self-will, self-justification, and self-love, — which wars against spirituality and is the law of sin and death." This "solvent of Love" is sufficient to meet the always new forms of the old error, or animal magnetism.

Contemplating the tender might and the gracious effectiveness of divine Love, we see that hate and malpractice and war — all the evil beliefs of mortal mind, named animal magnetism — are powerless because godless. The total of evil is a lie, nothingness.

In the daily practice of Christian Science we know with certainty that the Love which is God utterly excludes every claim of an opposite evil power or presence. For the supreme value of Christian Science is its revelation of the fact that God is All, supreme, omnipotent, omniactive Love, and there is no opposite.
