God's
purpose is beneficent, irrepealable, and its glad recognition and appropriation rule out the belief in evil and bring health and harmony into human experience.
The
world should rejoice that the glad message of Christ Jesus, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly," is being repeated, explained, and made practical by Christian Science.
Christian Scientists rejoice in knowing God as Principle because the word conveys to them the sense of His absolute unchangeableness and permanence, besides giving them an understanding of Him as the cause of all that really exists.
With
what relief the sufferer who turns to Christian Science learns for the first time that true thinking can emancipate him from the slavery of disease and disability.
According
to material sense testimony mankind's enjoyment of good—health, harmony, and happiness—seems insecure; whereas evil experiences, such as sickness and sin, discord and disappointment, appear so prevalent that men are prone to be uncertain, doubtful, and fearful in regard to their status and welfare.
