The Pure Sunlight of Love

MARGARET WILLIAMS

Comfort, assurance, and light are given to students of Christian Science in these words of Mary Baker Eddy on page 558 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures": "To mortal sense Science seems at first obscure, abstract, and dark; but a bright promise crowns its brow. When understood, it is Truth's prism and praise. When you look it fairly in the face, you can heal by its means, and it has for you a light above the sun, for God 'is the light thereof.' "

Mrs. Eddy soon came to recognize that Truth, as revealed to her, would not readily be accepted, but she knew that the time for its reappearance had come, and that it was her mission to reveal it in all its radiance to benighted mortals. She realized that Truth's promise, though apprehended slowly, would at last glow in spiritual understanding, and that no so-called forces of evil could thwart the divine promises.

Deep in every individual heart is a desire for good, however temporarily darkened with mortal beliefs that heart may be. One may not always at the outset understand just how the quest for good may be undertaken, but as one goes deeper into the study of Christian Science he soon learns how to turn from the presentments of evil and the darkness of mortal strife to the immutable and enlightening facts of Spirit.
