The Acme of Christian Science

Evelyn F. Heywood

Increasingly , and with human evidence to support the conclusion, have men of letters, of science and medicine, admitted in recent years that this is a mental world. But to them, it has been a world where evil thoughts as well as good hold sway and often appear superior in intelligence and force.

Of the dangers and inconsistencies proceeding from learning that is not divinely directed, God warned mankind in these words of Isaiah: "Their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid." And as a result of spiritual knowing, "the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off."

We learn in divine Science that the acme of Truth is its allness, and that man is God's expression; that the terrible one and the scorner are brought to nought as human knowledge, ingenuity, and labor submit to the counsels of God; as men understand the works of His hand and no longer look to material research and accumulated learning, but to divine wisdom and Love.
