The Haven of Soul

THOMAS LOVATT WILLIAMS

Among the terms which Mary Baker Eddy uses for God, the term "Soul" is fraught with comfort and beauty. It brings peace to the distressed and healing to the sick. Shackles have dropped away from those bound with superstition and belief, and the harmony and rhythm of life have often been restored as swiftly as when, after a bad dream, there is the awakening to the sunlight streaming through the windows.

There is no mystery about Christian Science. In it mysticism, superstition, and misguided emotion have no place. Instead, to the earnest seeker of understanding, there is God, Truth, eternally revealing Himself in His creation, dispelling the unreal shadows of mortality with their fictions of discord and death.

Mrs. Eddy sums up the cause of all human woe in one terse sentence to be found in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 390), and concurrently she indicates the remedy: "It is our ignorance of God, the divine Principle, which produces apparent discord, and the right understanding of Him restores harmony."
