ON our journey from sense to Soul it is never a question of years, but always one of growth in the knowledge of Truth.

The Lesson-Sermon and Its Reading

IN the Lesson-Sermon which is read in the Christian Science churches there is provided an order of service that gives all the advantages of a definite standard, order, and unity of thought; while in the study required to grasp and elucidate the meaning of these Lessons there is a constant call and incentive to original thought and effort, both on the part of the Readers and of the congregation.

God Known as Principle

THE declaration of Christian Science that "God is divine Principle," is the great revelation of to-day.

A False Sense of God Destroyed

IN pursuing his study of Christian Science, the beginner is sometimes conscious of a sense of bewilderment in his thought of God.

From our Exchanges

The sure word of prophecy which will yet give us a better religion and a more confident assurance of faith, is that God reveals himself to man, not through external nature, not through portents in the sky, not through tables of stone written upon by a divine finger, not through messages dictated to passive scribes of prophecy and the law, but through the quick experience of holy souls, to men and women who have been inspired, instructed, and illuminated by the light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world, who have, out of their own struggles with faith and fortune, wrought out their thoughts of God and discovered the wisdom and love which are revealed in all human life and human experience.

Christian Scientists rest secure in the consciousness of the integrity of their motives, they are striving to be Christian, to overcome evil with good, and to aid in the physical, moral, and spiritual regeneration of humanity.
Christian Scientists contend that since the universe and man are governed and sustained by divine law, a single demonstration in overcoming sin, disease, and death, through the understanding and application of this law, proves the possibility of overcoming all sin, disease, and death.
The philosophy of Christian Science is idealistic, that is, things exist as objectified states of consciousness; they have no real existence apart from divine Mind which gives them individuality and identity.

Eternal Punishment

The term punishment, if attached to Deity, should have a meaning differing from that which is current, since its common use is to refer to an affliction which is prompted either by wrath or a mere determination to offset an evil deed with its merited pain.
While I was being treated in Christian Science, I asked the practitioner one day why I was not yet healed.
