THE
age in which we live, beyond any other period in the world's history, is rich in achievements for good and grand in its profound aspirations for real advancement.
In
the light of the Science of being,—that God is Spirit and perfect, and that man and the universe are spiritual and perfect,—the meaning of human life is realized only as we bring into consciousness, activity, and expression this perfection of God, man, and the universe.

In regard to the "Emmanuel movement," it is said to be "an alliance between medical science and the forces of religion," and a medical diagnosis determines whether a case is a nervous or functional disorder to be treated by the minister by suggestion and religious influence, or an organic disease to be given regular medical treatment.
Christian Science heals entirely by a reliance on God, and an absolute faith in His power to cure all manner of diseases, whether functional or organic, and whether in their early or advanced stages.
One of the most unfortunate things that has come to us through what we call "higher civilization" is the killing of faith in our power of disease resistance.
