TRUTH LIFTS THE VEIL

WALTER J. CONOVER

A Christian Scientist had for some days been contending with an annoying cold. Although throughout the week he had earnestly striven to see its unreality, the condition had not yielded. Sunday evening found him in church, intently listening to the words of truth from the Bible and from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.

As the final section of the Lesson-Sermon from the Christian Science Quarterly was being read, the healing message came, clear and potent, in these words (Science and Health, p. 120): "Therefore the divine Principle of Science, reversing the testimony of the physical senses, reveals man as harmoniously existent in Truth, which is the only basis of health." The veil was lifted! The glorious fact of man's present perfection as the spiritual child of God, expressing health and freedom, was seen and gladly accepted, and the healing was immediately evidenced.

Material belief can never discern or grasp the spiritual truths relating to God and His idea, man, who is never bounded by or in bondage to a material body. "The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned," says the Apostle Paul (I Cor. 2:14). Mortal mind is ever outside the realm of divine reality, ever blindly arguing with and claiming to present its own false concepts: discord, distrust, intolerance, impatience, and fear.
