TOWARD GREATER CONSECRATION

Robert Ellis Key

Referring to the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," the author, Mary Baker Eddy, writes (p. 559): "Read this book from beginning to end. Study it, ponder it." To meditate upon and weigh the great truths contained in the Christian Science textbook is greatly important. Many read the book, a number study it, but how many ponder it in the full meaning of that term?

To reflect upon and express the truths it contains is even more important than to read and study it. The letter of Christian Science is widely known, but to heal by its means it is necessary to gain the spirit. The straight road toward this goal is to ponder deeply the truth in its many aspects. This truth becomes our own through deep and soulful experiences.

There is nothing shallow or flippant in the thought of one who has broken through the crust of materialism. Stupendous truths concerning God and man await our recognition. These truths expound the true idea of Science, theology, and medicine. They reveal our original nature as wholly good. They establish our safety in the unchanging security of Soul.
