The Scientific Period

Helen Wood Bauman

The world in general is deeply concerned with matter and the development of material power. The atomic age is upon us, and the natural sciences are much before public thought. The years ahead will tell what the new release of material energy means to mankind. Undoubtedly this development appears side by side with the spiritually scientific era, which is also upon us and which has been developing divine power to those ready to accept the Science of Christianity since Mary Baker Eddy discovered it.

This Science is exact and promises far more than material so-called science, for Christian Science is the Science of God, and concerns absolute laws and their demonstration. These laws are not only immortal and infinite in possibilities, but they are invariably harmonious and constructive.

The Science of Truth releases the divine power that Jesus demonstrated with matchless ability many centuries ago. The leaven of his teachings has never stopped acting in human thought, and Mrs. Eddy's discovery of the Science of his works and precepts has given untold impulsion to this leavening process. Students of the Bible are familiar with Jesus' parable (Matt. 13:33): "The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened."
