EDUCATION BY DIVINE LOGIC AND INSPIRATION

HENRY ALLEN NICHOLS

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE presents a simple and scientific approach to education. It presents the proposition that all human concepts are directly or indirectly beliefs about ultimate spiritual facts. Students in search of a genuine education are concerned with learning how to discover spiritual facts and how to apply them to the correction of human concepts and the improvement of human conditions.

Mary Baker Eddy sought to learn the ultimate spiritual cause for all outward effects. Of her search, she wrote (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 109), "I knew the Principle of all harmonious Mind-action to be God, and that cures were produced in primitive Christian healing by holy, uplifting faith; but I must know the Science of this healing and I won my way to absolute conclusions through divine revelation, reason, and demonstration."

Revelation, reason, and demonstration were the means by which she discovered this Science. Christian Science includes all three. Revelation, we know, is the disclosure to human thought of scientific truth. Demonstration means proof. Between these lies reason.
