CONFORMITY TO LOVE'S LAW

Richard J. Davis

In her textbook. "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and rounder of Christian Science, writes (p. 113): "The vital part, the heart and soul of Christian Science, is Love. Without this, the letter is but the dead body of Science,—pulseless, cold, inanimate." Christian Science brings to mankind the revelation that Love is the divine Principle of the universe; that God, the cause and creator of all being is love—universal, all-inclusive, and omnipotent. Love is the acme of all being.

Love in Christian Science does not imply mere kindness, but requires and demands it. Love does not imply just affection, but requires it. Love does not mean merely a kindly interest in our fellow man, but certainly requires it. Love is greater than all the qualities that humanly indicate it, for Love is the basic fact of all being.
