"THIS IS CHRISTIAN SCIENCE"

PAT PHILIP ADKINS

What is Christian Science? This question has been answered by Mary Baker Eddy in "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany," where she writes (p.160), "To live so as to keep human consciousness in constant relation with the divine, the spiritual, and the eternal, is to individualize infinite power; and this is Christian Science."

Christian Science, then, denotes the true way of living whereby infinite power may be individualized. Christ Jesus demonstrated the true way of living to a remarkable degree. He met and mastered such discordant conditions as insanity, immorality, fever, blindness, deafness, paralysis, leprosy, and death. These mighty works, however, should not be regarded as mere phenomenal exhibitions by a gifted personality, but as scientific demonstrations by the Founder of Christianity of the divine Principle he lived.
