Science rests on Principle and demonstration

"Science rests on Principle and demonstration. The Principle of Christian Science is divine. Its rule is, that man shall utilize the divine power." Thus states Mrs. Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, on page 69 of her book Miscellaneous Writings.

The wonderful fact that man has been given the right to use and benefit from this divine power was proven to me last summer. On military leave orders, I arranged to travel as a "space available" passenger on military aircraft from my overseas base to a city in the vicinity of Chicago. The occasion for this journey was my association meeting.

I had prayed diligently as we are taught to do in Christian Science to know that the mortal sense of distance had no power to keep me from being present when the meeting was called to order. I realized that in this, as in all things, God's promises are kept. This grand promise in Exodus had proven a strong staff for me in the past, and it was now (23:20): "Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared."
