"OUR ORDERED LIVES"

Harold Molter

The poet's words, "Order is Heaven's first law," constitute an important statement for Christian Scientists. Success in the practice of their religion can only be attained through the orderly demonstration of the truths set forth in the Bible and the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science.

In her autobiography Mrs. Eddy writes (Retrospection and Introspection, p. 87): "Experience has taught me that the rules of Christian Science can be far more thoroughly and readily acquired by regularly settled and systematic workers, than by unsettled and spasmodic efforts. Genuine Christian Scientists are, or should be, the most systematic and law-abiding people on earth, because their religion demands implicit adherence to fixed rules, in the orderly demonstration thereof."

How clearly our Leader brings out the important point that Christian Science is more than a set of rules to be read and contemplated. It is a practical religion to be applied in all the numerous details of daily living. But we must adhere to its rules as faithfully as we do to those of mathematics in solving the many problems which come to us each day.
