SPIRITUALLY SCIENTIFIC GUIDANCE

Richard J. Davis

ON page 596 of her textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, writes, "Paganism and agnosticism may define Deity as 'the great unknowable;' but Christian Science brings God much nearer to man, and makes Him better known as the All-in-all, forever near." The study of Christian Science gradually leads one away from every concept of Deity as a distant or faraway entity. One loses the sense of God as a separate entity who in some personal way directs or governs our lives. In Christian Science the relationship of God and man is expressed in eternal coexistence and oneness. The poet Tennyson caught a glimpse of reality when he declared,

Closer is He than breathing, and nearer
than hands and feet.
