fulfilling the Healing Mission of Christian Science

Mrs. Eddy in her book "Miscellaneous Writings" states pp. 4, 5): "It is not alone the mission of Christian Science to heal the sick, but to destroy sin in mortal thought. This work well done will elevate and purify the race. It cannot fail to do this if we devote our best energies to the work."

Churches of Christ, Scientist, and Christian Science Societies speed the attainment of this goal in their respective communities proportionately to the members' spiritual growth and application of Truth to all church activities.

Mrs. Eddy points out (ibid., pp. 204, 205): "Through the accession of spirituality, God, the divine Principle of Christian Science, literally governs the aims, ambition, and acts of the Scientist. The divine ruling gives prudence and energy; it banishes forever all envy, rivalry, evil thinking, evil speaking and acting; and mortal mind, thus purged, obtains peace and power outside of itself. This practical Christian Science is the divine Mind, the incorporeal Truth and Love, shining through the mists of materiality and melting away the shadows called sin, disease, and death."
