SUBSTANTIAL VALUES

John J. Selover

True substance can never be lost; it cannot deteriorate; nor can it depreciate in value. Spirit, God, is the only real substance, and since God is All-in-all, substance is forever at hand and abundant. A correct understanding of substance constitutes a law of correction to the belief of lack of any kind. Christian Science presents, for the use of all, the scientific method of demonstrating in daily life the stable, concrete nature of real substance.

Mary Baker Eddy declares in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 468): "Substance is that which is eternal and incapable of discord and decay. Truth, Life, and Love are substance, as the Scriptures use this word in Hebrews: 'The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

One cannot think of himself as physical without at the same time holding to the conviction that matter is necessary for his well-being.
