To
those who have settled down with the fatalistic acceptance of old-age beliefs, Christian Science comes with the glad assurance that the stagnation and loss of normal faculties that are considered an accompaniment of advanced years can be overcome here and now.
It
is very interesting to note how in the Old Testament Pentecost was held in commemoration of the children of Israel being delivered from servitude to the Egyptians and of the freedom they experienced through reaping the fruits of their labors, which culminated in the gift of the law obtained by Moses, who, having seen sufficiently clearly, received the truth and gave to their waking thought the guidance from God.
As
students and demonstrators of this great and wonderful practical truth, Christian Science, our real desires, efforts, and purposes are one, and that one is to gain an understanding of the truth that will make us free and enable us to work out our own salvation in the way appointed, and there is no other way.
Despite
the fact that the remedies of the old schools of medicine seem frequently to be temporarily effective, they never offer complete freedom from the fear that the so-called difficulty or disease may at some time return.
It
is evident that, used in the sense of established rule, law means a power, an indispensable and indestructible force which operates throughout the entire universe and is reflected by all God's creation, from the smallest to the greatest.
