Our values—what are they?

CAROL CHAPIN LINDSEY

The fact is that man is already perfect, and we can begin to demonstrate this now. It's like a locked chest full of treasure. The treasure's there. But until we open the chest, all those riches mean very little to us. Christian Science unlocks priceless spiritual truths and teaches us how to make them our own.

An understanding of this Science shakes up our priorities. When we learn that God, Spirit, is All, and therefore matter and its effects are essentially unreal, we are forced to reassess what's important and what isn't. Science demands progressive liberation from dependence on materiality. But unless we're confronted with crises or major decisions, it's often hard to know how far we've come in this process.

How do we assess our present moral behavior?
