"THE INFINITE LIGHT"

Helen Wood Bauman

In simple metaphor the Apostle John summed up the great lesson Christ Jesus taught (I John 1:5): "This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all." Light includes no darkness, but spreads its radiance without effort, dispelling shadows. So God, pure Mind, includes no evil, but radiates knowledge of His own allness, extinguishing states of ignorance, fear, and sin, which would hold mankind in mental darkness and despair.

Christian Science brings spiritual light because it includes all truth. It illumines human thought by instructing it in the facts of being: the infinitude of God, good, and the consequent nothingness of evil and matter; the perfection of spiritual man, God's likeness, and the unreality of the mortal sense of existence; the unity of the Father and His sons—a unity as unseverable as that of the sun and its rays.
