of Christian Science throughout the world recognize and acknowledge the unassailable and unique position of Mary Baker Eddy in the Christian Science movement as Discoverer, Founder, and Leader, and they recognize the fact that the full and final revelation of Truth has come through her; but they do not always recognize the necessity of putting Truth into practice.
Christian Science
brings the happy assurance that divine harmony and perfection are the ever-present and essential verities of God's creation, and that this harmony and perfection is perpetually maintained in obedience to unchanging spiritual law; that, as certainly as there is a created universe, just as surely is there a perfect law which governs it in exact order and according to unchanging divine purpose.
