TRUTH'S UTTERANCE

Helen Wood Bauman

Truth is God, and the voice of Truth speaks to this age through Christian Science, Love's healing, redeeming, comforting law. This voice is reaching those who are ready to receive the message that God's creation is spiritual, not material, and that matter and evil have no actual existence. Mary Baker Eddy heard this message in a time of great trial, and she recognized its practicality and power when she found herself suddenly healed of an injury that had threatened her life. She says of the Science she discovered in that momentous hour (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 323), "It is the 'still, small voice' of Truth uttering itself." And she says further, "We are either turning away from this utterance, or we are listening to it and going up higher."

Truth utters itself, proclaims its truthfulness and reality. Truth declares its own perfection and allness through its ideas. It speaks of wonders of goodness and love, of beauty and action, of color, form, and substance unseen to the corporeal senses, but ever radiant throughout eternity in the expression of infinite harmony. Truth's voice resounds throughout the universe; it never ceases speaking. And its message of man's immortality, sinlessness, and immutability is coming to men with the penetration of resistless power, informing, guiding, inspiring them in ways of righteousness.
