The Way Out: Science, Not Suicide

Geoffrey J. Barratt

For one who feels fed up with life, even suicidal, Christian Science is encouraging and answers the problems.

No matter how helpless we feel, there is a way through. Good is real and present because good is God. Ugliness and evil are unreal and nowhere. That's true, even though we're perhaps reluctant to admit it. And we can start proving it now.

People may seem not to care, but God does. That's why we shouldn't give up. There's a way through and we can find it. Mrs. Eddy indicates the direction: "There is but one way to heaven, harmony, and Christ in divine Science shows us this way. It is to know no other reality—to have no other consciousness of life—than good, God and His reflection, and to rise superior to the so-called pain and pleasure of the senses."^{Science and Health, p. 242;}
