CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
holds us to high ideals, pointing out continually that "the Christlike understanding of scientific being and divine healing includes a perfect Principle and idea,—perfect God and perfect man,—as the basis of thought and demonstration".
OCCASIONALLY
the remark is heard that certain persons seem impervious to the truth, that though demonstrations in Christian Science have been brought to their attention, they have persisted in clinging to their material gods and have seemed hardly to realize in the slightest the significance of the phenomena observed.
THE
question is often asked by a beginner in Christian Science: Since God is the only creator, and man is His perfect creation, what is the cause of all our ills, and what is this evil power that is seeking to dominate our lives?
WHEN
a student of Christian Science grasps something of the meaning of the term Principle, as applied to God, divine Truth and Love, he gradually comes to realize the necessity of following Principle, as scientifically understood and recognized, in every detail and circumstance of his life.
IN
Christian Science it is made very plain that the process of salvation is individual before it can be universal, and that one who is conscientiously applying his knowledge of this Science will not attempt to work out anyone's salvation but his own.
A RECENT
writer has spoken of "the horrors of the existing twilight between war and peace," and judging from the standpoint of the material senses, this vivid description pretty fairly sums up the conditions of human existence after four years of terrific warfare.
Our critic says, "We do not dispute for a minute as to the healings that Christian Science claims, because if the devil can oppress he can lift the oppression.
Christian Science has awakened the human consciousness from a mere belief in the Word of God as found in the Holy Bible to the scientific knowledge of the teachings and demonstrations of Christ Jesus, whereby mankind establish their faith by their works.
