SOMETHING IN COMMON

JOYCE S. HUDSON

Heaven is man's eternal home, and one should never be satisfied with less than heaven, or harmony. The striving for perfection evidences one's recognition that perfection is attainable here and now; that it is, indeed, man's native state.

At some stage in human experience many come to the place where they feel that their hunger for a more satisfactory explanation of God and His creation can no longer be ignored. They then begin to seek the truth and find in Christian Science the explanation of the universe, including man, as God, divine wisdom, created it. At last their hunger for truth begins to be satisfied. Through this Science they discover that the inhabitants of God's universe are not unpredictable, dissatisfied mortals. They learn that a discordant mortal is a mistaken concept of man, who is spiritual and perfect.

Mary Baker Eddy writes in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (pp. 476, 477): "Jesus beheld in Science the perfect man, who appeared to him where sinning mortal man appears to mortals. In this perfect man the Saviour saw God's own likeness, and this correct view of man healed the sick." As we consistently strive to gain the correct view of man, the true selfhood of all men is more apparent.
