THE FINAL REVELATION

From the October 1929 issue of The Christian Science Journal


CHRISTIAN SCIENCE is the final revelation of Truth. In the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mrs. Eddy says (p. 107): "In the year 1866, I discovered the Christ Science or divine laws of Life, Truth, and Love, and named my discovery Christian Science. God had been graciously preparing me during many years for the reception of this final revelation of the absolute divine Principle of scientific mental healing." How fundamental to the worker in Christian Science is this statement! The knowledge that in Christian Science there is a full and complete revelation of the truth of being, and that the entire consecration of one's energies and effort may be devoted to the reception, understanding, and practice of this revelation, is most satisfying.

Christ Jesus proved the divine Principle of Christian Science; but because the world was not ready to comprehend his teachings and demonstrations in their higher meanings, he said to his followers: "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth." The many events prophesied by Jesus appeared in due course. The "Spirit of truth" is come. It is Christian Science; and it is leading "into all truth." To Mrs. Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, were revealed these "many things," and she gave them to the world in the Christian Science textbook. Her clear spiritual vision perceived the truth, the Bible, she tells us, being her only guide.

The truth of being is proclaimed to this age in the Bible, with Science and Health as its true interpreter; but our Leader did not stop there. To give this book to the world was a stupendous task; but she was under the divine demand to go farther. In obedience to this demand, the Christian Science organization was established.
