IS THERE NO DEATH?

DAISY DEAN DIDDY

In "Unity of Good" Mary Baker Eddy says (p. 43), "I insist only upon the fact, as it exists in divine Science, that man dies not, and on the words of the Master in support of this verity,—words which can never 'pass away till all be fulfilled.'"

This is the unchanging truth upon which the Christian Scientist must base his demonstration of Life. He must insist upon the eternality of Life which man, who is forever one with Life, God, reflects. We need to rouse our thought from the mesmerism of universal belief in the inevitability of death. It is the business of the Christian Scientist to glorify God by demonstrating in ever-increasing measure the indestructible faculties of Life, to reflect the eternal nature of God. In the words of Hezekiah (Isa. 38:18, 19): "The grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee....The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day."

One of the first requisites in the demonstration of Life is to stop believing that disease is an entity with power to cripple harmony and to destroy the life of man. As long as disease is accepted as an entity, men are afraid of it, believing it to be endowed with power of its own to operate against God, whose all-power is productive only of good, of health and harmony.
